There wasn't anything to overwrite.

I don't consider it a problem in Interface Builder. It's just
something that Interface Builder does that Subversion doesn't
understand yet. Someday:
svn propset svn:volatile yes *.nib
And I didn't say it was a bug in subversion... but you saw what I
typed, and you saw what it did. For all I know it was a memory error.
All I know is that a directory with a handful of files suddenly had
only one after I committed.

Well, right now I just want to fix the bug that causes my application
to crash when it quits. I know how to copy from old revisions and I
know how to dump and load. I don't want to learn how subversion
handles merging today. Maybe after I fix my bug. It took me mere
moments to make Subversion forget about revisions 53 & 54, then copy
the changes back in. It's not a huge repository -- most of the changes
are in the archived CVS repository. So, yes it was easier than
learning which command to use to merge.
Anyway, I'm content with my repository as it is.
