I think we could detect this info via the same 'svn status' call used

error for this case, however.

What does "warning" mean? That is, what state would be left behind? Would the colliding unversioned object/directory still be present in this WC? That would constitute a partial failure of the merge operation. I'm with Blair: this is a failure, and one line buried among thousands just is not enough notice; the model of conflicts during update seems proper (where 'svn status' shows the state, and commits are inhibited until you fix or acknowledge the problem).

At the least, a user choice such as a command-line switch to force, fail, or ask seems warranted.
