It means that of all the items in your working copy, the one with the
lowest revision is from revision 387, and the highest is from r388.

Before the update, you had a mixed-revision working copy.

By the way, you usually don't need to do things like "rm Config.h.*";
usually you'd resolve the conflict by whatever means, and then inform
Subversion that you did this with "svn resolved Config.h" and it'll
delete the other files for you.
