Probably just do an Update. I *think* this will leave the file coming from
the server as unversioned. You could always do Revert, Update, Delete,
Commit

In this case, you definitely want to do Revert and then Update.

That is what I thought (see above).

Provide a transcript showing what the command line tells you. Toss a few
svn status commands in to show what Subversion is saying about your working
copy. I think Subclipse was mostly trying to tell you the same thing, the
decorators were just confusing you. For example, the conflict icon in the
Synch view is not the same as a Subversion conflict. A Synch conflict
simply means there is both a local change and a server change to the same
file. It is possible that a Subversion update will handle it fine.
Personally, I would just use the Synch view for status info and compares,
but then stick with update and commit for the actions. Worst case is that
update creates a local conflict that you then can resolve using the same
technique you would have used from the Synch view.
I am not saying there aren't any problems here I just do not think it is
entirely clear what they are and what the correct behavior would be.
