What change did you notice? You're only showing one instance of output. What has changed? And which releases of Subversion are you comparing? > The left and right are from the same branch.

These fields describe the "merge left" and "merge right" sides of the incoming delta which produced the incoming addition (in the merge "source"). They do not describe the two conflicting addition operations which led to the tree conflict. You'll need to figure out the conflicting addition on the merge target branch by looking at the log of the merge target branch. Does that make sense? Did you use the --reintegrate option to run the merge which produced this conflict? It seems you're merging a branch back into trunk, and forgetting to pass the --reintegrate option is a common cause of unnecessary tree conflicts during such merges. Just mentioning this in case you forgot about using the ---reintegrate option. By the way, I agree that Subversion should in general do a better job at explaining the root cause of tree conflicts. It should also guide users through conflict resolution interactively to make these conflicts easier to resolve. Subversion would benefit a lot from improvements in this area.
