Hmm, you've got a point. I'm not certain it would work in that instance.

In my experience (which is likely less than yours; about 2.5 years of
using svn for code, xml, and art assets in small teams) it would be of
*very* limited usefulness, but there are instances when it's safe. For
instance:
Base:
x = 1
+ 2;
Theirs:
x = 1 + 5
+ 2;
Mine:
x = 1
+ 5 + 2;
Merge:
x = 1 + 5
+ 5 + 2;
Of course, in that instance you could just revert your own copy, and,
granted, I can't actually recall an instance when that's happened to me
in practice. The only time it's happened to me, there were conflicts
elsewhere in the file.
