On NT the error you mention can't happen (it's actually commented out).. on linux it'll happen when you change the executable bit on a file between branches (we don't version any other kind of permission).. it's arguable what to do in that situation but the existing CVS code treated it as a nonmergable conflict so I left it that way.
