We don't handle tree conflicts. There are issues filed on this... as
old as the hills. Nobody's come up with a good design yet.

For example, when 'svn up/switch' wants to delete a file that has
local modifications, it just removes the file version control. The
file becomes unversioned. (A lot of people hate this, but then
they'd also hate it if the update stopped cold.) But what should
happen if the update wants to delete a directory containing
unversioned or edited data? Move it out of the way?

For more thoughts on the problem, see issues 2282 and even 563.
