The editor saves full files, not patchsets. AFAICT, once you start working on a file it isn't synced with svn at any point. Then on commit, the wip file is copied over the original one, overwriting any changes happened since the work started and commits it - hence not creating conflicts. Out of the brazillion files available, I don't think this case happens that often, unless people leave wip files alone for a long period of time - it should ofcourse be looked into and fixed. -Hannes
