Yes, you are correct. 99.9% of the time, there is only one author per document. So conflicts may be minimal or not at all. Our process states that once a baseline is created (i.e. branches) only approved changes are made to it, while new dev. is made in the trunk. This great with code, while documents are not as dynamic (I mean, who likes to write documents..right). Anyway, I think I am not quite yet used to Subversion's paradigm of one repo revision. I am more familiar with other CM systems where each file has its own version and thus easier to "thread/tag". I am sure the right process will handle this, I just need to find it.

Ok, so you want to basically copy the file from one place to another
using svn merge. Yes.
Understand what merge realy does....
svn merge FROM_THIS_FILE@HEAD TO_THIS_FILE@HEAD PUT_IT_HERE
So, since you know the file that is to be replaced, that would be the
FROM_THIS_FILE ... AND... the PUT_IT_HERE
There are situations where you sould get conflicts, but I'm guessing
in your situation that wouldn't happen often.
