How about we start with a list of the possible error messages?  =)

IME, a merge conflict means you, the user, have to manually recreate the tree 
via svn copy, svn mv, etc. commands.  Which is a *huge* perception/paradigm 
change from how file merges are handled.  Meaning, tree conflicts have zero 
automation/help from svn.  Once you accept that, and learn how to read the 
messages, tree conflicts aren't that mysterious anymore.
