True... I don't know of a way to tell Subversion to undo its
conflicted state there. However, you'll see that you have some other
new files in the directory. For example, if foo is the conflicted
file, you should also have foo.r42, representing the state of the
file at revision 42 before you made changes, foo.r46, representing
the new file revision 46 that was just downloaded during the update,
and foo.mine, representing the file at revision 42 plus your changes.
You could use a diff program to compare and two of those files to see
what's changed between them. You could even copy any of those on top
of the main foo file and then work from there.
