very frequent svn conflict issue

Dear list ,

As more and more users are using svn in my office ; more and more svn
conflict issue is coming up. I have configured the svn with post-commit
hook so that it automatically update the files under htdocs so a commit
also update the website too. To achieve this I have placed the following
in post-conmmit script

` ` `
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/bin/svn up --force /var/www/mysite
` ` `

The force option is there to allow users to add file/folders which are
created by apache. Before I had to manually add those folders every time
apache creates some file/folder by svn add. If the users try to add
those by downloading it by ftp; svn denied to add by saying file
already exist. Now with the *force* option users can add the
files/folders created by apache by just downloading the new file/folders
by ftp and then add it through svn.

But the conflict issue has come in-front. More and more files are in
conflict stage and as a result the post-commit hook fails to update the
website after commit.

Could any one kindly suggest why so frequent conflict ? is the *force*
option actual culprit ? I have no idea !!! some enlightenment please
