That's the thing. Its a perfectly clean working copy. I even removed it and did a brand new checkout and tried again. There are no local modified files.
For the record I have used svn for a while in the past and never encountered this recent issues. ------Original Message------ From: Dan Cech Sender: talk-boun...@lists.nyphp.org To: NYPHP Talk Cc: N.J.

It sounds like your local copy of privs.php was modified before the merge, so svn couldn't resolve the conflict that implies (trying to both modify and delete the same file). A good rule of thumb is to only merge into a clean working copy, not only does it cut down on issues like these, you also don't end up with a revision that has some changes from the merge and other changes from your modifications mixed together.
