Ok, done in revision 10996.
Note: once the docs contain a section/chapter about that particular
dialog, we have to add the <?dbhh topicname="HIDD_CONFLICTRESOLVE"?>
part to link the help button with that doc part.

Is this still the case? SVN 1.5 has the ability to silently version
those items. If the already existing file differs from the one the
checkout/update/switch/merge would add, then the file is marked as
'modified'.
Last time I checked, this worked ok. If you found a situation where you
still get a conflict, let me know and I'll investigate.
Something related:
Subversion 1.5 allows the conflict resolving during an operation not
only for merges but for all commands. I've only 'activated' this in TSVN
for merges since this helps when doing multiple merges (or have SVN
doing multiple merges due to the merge tracking skipping already merged
revisions).
But I left it as before for updates/switches/... because I think it
doesn't help much: there's no big difference whether you resolve a
conflict right when it happens or after the command has finished. You
won't gain anything by resolving the conflict right away, but it
interrupts the command.
So, what do you think: correct decision?
Stefan
