There is no line-based conflict here. User A changed one line, User B
changed a different line. So 'svn update' had no problem merging User
A's change (a line deletion) into the locally-modified working file of
user B (who edited a different line).

The only reason user B's commit failed is because they didn't have the
latest version of the file. The server automatically rejects such
commits; it doesn't look at the file contents at all to make this
decision, it only looks at file versions. There was no server
"conflict" error, just an "out of date" error. And after the update,
there *still* was no conflict, just a clean merge of server changes
with local edits.

Does that clarify things?
