I sent lots of details. If you can't see them then perhaps something is buggy with the help system. The conflicts were either "local add, incoming add upon merge" or " local delete, incoming delete upon merge"

Did you ask for help on this list when you got similar conflicts?
Any pointers to threads I could read?
