Yes, it looks as though you've replaced a file with svn cp somehow.
Unfortunately this kind of thing is incredibly fiddly... and some bugs
can present in the svn pre-commit checks that break it.

Your best bet is to do an old-fashioned svn cp postgresql90-server
postgresql93-server, svn commit, then do the fiddling around with it
all, as we used to in the cvs days.  (Don't add it to
databases/Makefile until it's ready of course!)

If you run svn diff, you may even see which file you've "replaced".
