SVN: when merging, say, trunk changes onto your branch, SVN flags every change as a conflict.
BK (and presumably git and other changeset based systems): figures this stuff out automatically based on the changeset history. only stuff not automatically resolved is when two unordered changesets edit the same line (i.e. trunk and your clone changed the same line).

SVN makes me angry.

What version of SVN? If it's older than 1.5, then this is unfortunately expected since merge support sucked.

I switched my version to 1.5 just for this reason. It still sucks.
