I think you're asking: is there a way to "turn off" the conflict, and
have Subversion just use the new version, overwriting the old
version, regardless of conflicts. No, there isn't. After you merge,
you will probably get a conflict. If you want to overwrite the old
version, then do that (move the new file over the original file, and
then tell Subversion the conflict is resolved). If this is too much
work, then you can write a wrapper around svn merge, which does the
merge and then does the moving and resolving. Call this wrapper
instead of calling svn merge directly.
