I think we need to change this. Last night in IRC Mark raised this
very issue, specifically the case where a file add is obstructed by a
file added without history where the files have text conflicts. He
expected a tree conflict in this case. Prior to merging the issue
3334 branch to trunk we did get a tree conflict(1):

With trunk_at_35842, as you point out, there is no tree conflict nor any error:

If there are no text differences between the two files then we report
the added obstruction as 'E'xisting:

Updated to revision 2.

                 2 1 jrandom update_tests-34.backup\A\D\H\psi
                 2 2 jrandom update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon

I agree with Mark that CASE A should be a tree conflict, and the
incoming file's text should simply be replaced by the locally added
file's text rather than being merged. This essentially maintains the
old obstruction tolerance functionality added in r22257 but adds a
tree conflict to attract the user's attention that something might be
amiss.

It's a bit trickier with case B, the existing behavior of not raising
a tree conflict is quite nice, but at first glance this does not
appear very straightforward...looking a bit deeper right now.

Does this sound like a reasonable approach?

(1) Before the 3334 branch was merged back to trunk things didn't work
quite so well:

Turns out epsilon is still scheduled for addition, and a revert or
resolve shows it as unversioned!

PRE3334.DBG>svn st -v update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon
A C 0 ? ? update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon

PRE3334.DBG>svn revert -R update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon
Reverted 'update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon'

PRE3334.DBG>svn st -v update_tests-34.backup\A\D\epsilon
