where are possible merge outcomes documented?

   i've perused the book and i have yet to see a concise summary of  
the possible outcomes for doing a merge -- that is, a one-line  
explanation of each of the possible letters, 'A', 'M', 'D', 'C' and so  
on.

   i don't see a table/list like that in the merging sections of the  
book, and neither are they documented in "svn help merge".  and that  
strikes me as fairly important information.

I can't comment as to whether there's a better place to put this
information, but it is available to me by running "svn help status" on
1.5.2:

...
The first six columns in the output are each one character wide:
    First column: Says if item was added, deleted, or otherwise changed
      ' ' no modifications
      'A' Added
      'C' Conflicted
      'D' Deleted
      'I' Ignored
      'M' Modified
      'R' Replaced
      'X' item is unversioned, but is used by an externals definition
      '?' item is not under version control
      '!' item is missing (removed by non-svn command) or incomplete
      '~' versioned item obstructed by some item of a different kind
...

hth,
tyler

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.ref.svn.c.update
may be more relevant.  "G" is one possible response for a merge for
the same reason as it is for "svn update" but it isn't a code that
appears on "svn status".
