There was some discussion a while ago on the Subversion mailing list
about changing the names of these conflicted files so instead of the
format file.ext.123 it will be file.123.ext. This should resolve your
problem.

Someone else would have to confirm if this was actually committed, or is
in the 1.4.x branch, however.
