Yes. There are a couple of sections in the book that explain it:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.resolve.pending
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.advanced.html#svn.branchmerge.advanced.mergeconflicts

Note that the filenames are different based on whether the conflict is
produced by merge versus update/switch.
