Re: commit allowed without update first?

you can let svn see all changes to the same file as conflicts by setting
the diff3-cmd to a "false" command (a command line program that just
returns an errorcode 1)

That way, it never automatically merges files, and while the conflicted
files exist in the wc, it isn't possible to commit.

with tsvn, you can let the diff3-cmd be different for different file
types (I think, never tried it), so you can let it automatically merge
certain files, while requiring manual intervention on others.
