Is this just an experiment or does it reflect a real case? That is, do you
have a legacy of pre-subversion code that is in multiple directory trees
such "Steve's version" and the "Alice's version" that you want to import
into a Subversion repository and end up with a single directory tree
composed of files that are merges of Steve's and Alice's originals?
If that is the case, in order to merge "the file level changes" you will
need a third directory tree reflecting the files in the state they were
before Steve and Alice made any changes. Do you have that? If so, you
could use that tree to populate Subversion with the originals, then create
two working directories, one for Steve and one for Alice, copy Steve's files
into the first and Alice's into the second, commit Steve, commit Alice, and
merge the conflicts.
