Why? There's a lot of benefits in this feature. It has been worked on sicnce May 2015 and is already pretty useful. There's a high-level description in the 1.10 release notes, have you seen that? http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.10.html#conflict-resolver You're a bringing your concerns up a little late :) But I'm not even sure why you would have any concerns about this.
