I see that it is wc of trunk,
so you attempted to merge branch into trunk, not vice versa?

For the record:
svn st --no-ignore
svn st -u
both do show the conflicts there.

Filed an issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3382

I wondered, that your WC has /.svn/format with value of 10.
Fresh checkouts with 1.6 and svn updates of 1.5 (format 9) wc
do not have that file at all. I know it was removed during
development of 1.6

Probably its presence does not hurt anything. Just mentioning, if you
would look for a reason to do a fresh checkout.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
