Right here, you are no longer merging into a clean working copy. "svn
status" will show this.

Imagine a scenario where you added files to your working copy (you
haven't svn add'ed them yet, but that doesn't matter) and then a merge
wants to add files with the same names. Do you want Subversion to
clobber your existing files with new files from the merge? Or do you
want it to warn you and not delete files from your working copy?

I want the second behavior because I don't like losing stuff. And that's
what svn does!
