Perhaps the real issue is that 'svn status' is not properly listing
the two conflict files as being under svn control. cleanAll is using
'svn status to determine which files are under SVN control, and they
are not listed, so most users would assume what Alexis assumed.

Perhaps a flag can be added to status that shows import SVN admin
files, like the conflict files (I don't know if there are any other
files like this).

That would solve the problem with cleanAll, and make users like myself
understand the issue better.
