        I don't believe its persisting - I could reproduce the error
        with the file removed, starting apache and the only connection
        to the server would be the svn merge...

        I didn't check if svn merge was making multiple connections
        to the server - if it is I could understand how things could
        go bad, but it its only making a single request then that
        makes... less sense
