That depends on the text merge algorithm.  At present 

   svn up --diff3-cmd /bin/false

would cause a conflict but with your patch the merge code is not invoked
so the "merge" succeeds.  Does that matter?  I don't know.

One thing that is still not quite right is that the final state of the
file is unmodified but NODES.last_mod_time is not set.  It's not caused
by your patch but ideally we would update last_mod_time.
