A note about process here ... It is in general not a good idea to
automate the commit step. Merge results should always be reviewed. If
Subversion does not flag a conflict that does /not/ mean that the merge
is semantically correct (or even syntactically, if we're talking about
merging source code); it only means that it did not find conflicting
regions of changes in the text.

There is no guarantee that a conflict-less merge results in valid code.
If you're lucky, a compiler will flag the problem; if not, you might
find out when users raise support tickets.
