+
+<p>The <tt>svn update</tt>, <tt>svn switch</tt>, and <tt>svn merge</tt>
+commands line client now always postpone conflicts. Once the operation has
+completed, the interactive conflict resolver is automatically run on paths
+which received conflicts during the operation, which will either run in
+interactive mode or perform conflict resolution based on the value of
+the <tt>--accept</tt> option, if given.</p>
+
+<p>This approach has the advantage that the connection to the server
+is not held open while interactive conflict resolution is performed.
+In Subversion 1.7, the connection could time out if the user spent
+too much time resolving a conflict (see
+<a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3846"
+>issue #3846</a>).</p>

+<p>The <tt>svn resolve</tt> command does not require the <tt>--accept</tt>
+option anymore. If invoked without any arguments, <tt>svn resolve</tt>
+will now perform interactive conflict resolution for any conflicted
+paths within the current working directory.</p>

+
+<p>The command-line client now has a built-in file merge tool which
+merges any non-conflicting changes automatically and asks the user
+what to do about each individual merge conflict.</p>
+
+<p>The built-in file merge tool can be invoked from the interactive
+conflict resolution prompt by choosing the <tt>(m) merge</tt> option.
+It displays conflicting file sections in a side-by-side view and
+offers various ways of resolving the conflict, as shown below:</p>
