You misunderstand. Deleting the two tmpfiles *is* a way of "informing
svn directly that the conflict is resolved."

Actually, they *are* under svn control. They're listed in the
.svn/entries file, attached to the entry. That's why svn notices when
you've deleted them.

Of course there is. Look at the entry: it has a "conflicted" state
attached to it, as well as pointers to the two tmpfiles.

Then perhaps your cleanAll module is a bit too over-zealous. If 'svn
status' reports that foo.c is conflicted, then your module should not
delete any '?' files that match the pattern 'foo.c.*'.
