 The merge command can be used separately on subdirectories and files within a branch as required.
 
+If a conflict arises between the local copy of a file and the trunk copy to be merged, several versions of that file will be created (e.g. ''file.f90'', ''file.f90.merge-left.rNNNN'', ''file.f90.merge-right.rMMMM''). In general, you will wish to replace the old version of a file (''file.f90.merge-left.rNNNN'') with the latest version from trunk (''file.f90.merge-right.rMMMM''). This can be done manually, and use the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/re24.html svn resolved] command to indicate that the conflict has been addressed. This will tidy up the files created on merge.
