Hi Julie --

What is happening is that you are trying to merge changes into a file
that someone else had also modified, and there is a certain line or
lines that the svn merge can't figure out which is the correct one.
Basically what you have to do is use a 2 or 3-way comparison using a
tool like meld (available in most Linux distros) to resolve the
conflict. You will compare the foo.8115, foo.working and foo.8119
versions of the file so you can see what line(s) are conflicting, save
the changes to foo.working (it will be easy to merge in the changes
manually, once you see the visual compare) and then copy foo.working
back to the original name and then do

svn resolve foo.c

Then you compile, test, etc before commiting.
