Between the time you created the branch and the time you merge it, the
trunk has evolved and the file has been modified.
Use the log to see that.

Hi Olivier
That is the thing, there is no changes done in that specific file!
I just did:
- revert that file
- update from svn, nothing to update
- merge that revision
- got conflict
One detail I left out: we are using 1.6 client and 1.4.4 server. Would
that be the reason of these type of conflicts?

> local edit, incoming delete upon merge
why is that? This is a simple delete , why does it show as a conflict?
the file hasn't changed by any other revision that is part of the
merge. Shouldn't it just remove the file locally or mark it for
deletion? Can't I apply several revisions to commit afterwards
together if one of them contains a deletion??
The message says it all: You have a local (ie in trunk) modification while
the merge tries to delete that modified files.
For you not to loose changes without knowing about it, SVN triggers a tree
conflict. Only you, human, can decide what to do between keeping the file
with the changes made in trunk, or accept the deletion that comes from the
merge of the branch
