How does TortoiseSVN handle conflicts?

Imagine you check out revision 24 of a file and started editing it. In the meantime, someone else committed revision 25, and shortly after that revision 26. You tell TortoiseSVN to update your file now, and Subversion will try to incorporate all the changes between revision 24 and 26 into your local file.

But if the changes made between 24 and 26 were too close to or even overlap with the changes you have made, Subversion detects a conflict and creates conflict markers in the file. You then have to resolve these conflicts yourself. Read the section about conflicts in the
Daily Use Guide to find out more.
