Greetings!

I'm needing some help working with my GSoC SVN branch.  I should preface
this by saying I can checkout and compile my branch just fine (no errors).
Regardless, it seems like a good idea to merge in any changes from the trunk
before I begin (and at the very least know how to do this should it be
necessary later).

I'm a newbie at SVN and this is a first attempt at merging two branches.
I'm using Tortoise SVN and I select Merge, I choose the third option
(merging two branches into a working copy) and give it the trunk as the
source, my SoC branch as the destination and a local directory as the
working copy.  A few standard conflicts come up and I always opt for the
trunk copy but there are several 'tree conflicts' coming up too (seem to be
files that are modified in the latest trunk version but that don't even
exist in my branch).

Problem is, with Tortoise SVN its not clear how to resolve these tree
conflicts.  It doesn't just prompt you during the merge like it does for
standard conflicts and I can't figure out how to resolve it after the fact
and continue.  Perhaps I need to get a local copy of these files in my
directory before I do the merge (maybe I could just browse the CS trunk via
HTTP and grab the individual files or something like that).

Anyways, any advice on this or general tips on working with my SoC branch
(i.e. should I even be worrying about this when everything compiles okay)
would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Seth
