Hi Stefan. In my opinion, Subversion should allow such a merge to be
attempted, and the result should be a textual merge like you've done
here if the tree conflict detection policy is "relaxed", and should be a
tree conflict if the policy is "strict". (Yes, the "tree conflict
detection policy" switch only exists in my head.)

Please do split up the patch!
