During merge (but not during update), a "local" edit may also be an
edit in the target branch's history, rather than an edit in the working copy.

> I have seen other posts in the ML regarding unexpected tree conflicts but they are usually about deleting of directories not files, or merging a delete twice in both directions (from trunk to branch and then from branch to trunk), or renaming/moving a file. Now I know this last case is similar to mine, as that it's just a delete and an add in Subversion, but, well, it should work :-)

As far as tree conflicts are concerned, Subversion does not know the
difference between delete and move, yet. Any delete is therefore
treated as a potiential move, which can lead to false positives.

Do these hints help?
