I am on svn 1.7.4/ and tortoise svn 1.7.6. I tried to google what is What is tree conflict in svn but could not get some article which explains it in depth except some specific questions.

Here is my understanding on tree conflict

Say I have trunk, now I created the branch branch1 out of trunk at time T1. Now if some developer adds some file or folder or renames some file under trunk at T2 and when i try to merge the branch to trunk (using Merge using range of revisions), I will get the tree conflict because of addition of some file or folder in source (trunk in this case) . Is that right ? If yes what is the way to merge changes back to trunk preferably using Tortoise SVN?

While if addition/deletion/rename happens on branch after T1 but trunk does not get changed, will i still get the Tree conflict? If yes what is the way to resolve it preferably using Tortoise SVN?

Not every edit|delete|add in future merge-nodes will produce tree-conflict
