It can report conflicts that are simply impossible. Here's an example using svn 1.2.1: qa21 haydens/work/trunk> svn merge --dry-run -r BASE:HEAD . | grep ^C C clients/c++/TupleConnection.cpp C test/xml/join.xml C test/xml/modules.xml qa21 haydens/work/trunk> svn stat test/xml/join.xml test/xml/modules.xml qa21 haydens/work/trunk> svn diff test/xml/join.xml test/xml/modules.xml qa21 haydens/work/trunk> Note that the 2nd and 3rd conflict isn't possible because the two files haven't been changed (or even touched). Unfortunately, it just doesn’t alwyas work correctly. It can report conflicts that are simply impossible. Here’s an example using svn 1.2.1:

qa21 haydens/work/trunk> svn merge –dry-run -r BASE:HEAD . | grep ^C
C clients/c++/TupleConnection.cpp
C test/xml/join.xml
C test/xml/modules.xml
qa21 haydens/work/trunk> svn stat test/xml/join.xml test/xml/modules.xml

Note that the 2nd and 3rd conflict isn’t possible because the two files haven’t been changed (or even touched).
