Yes exactly. That is why I recommended you do a "record only" merge to let svn know that all those earlier merges were already done. So, you have to choose if you are going to use the merge features or not. If you are doing manual merges you should do a record only merge.

You do have the resolve conflicts if you use merge or not, so you might as well use it. Keep in mind, the more often you merge the less conflicts you will have and the easier the ones you do have will be to resolve.
