Would it be possible to scan back up the branch and distinguish between
actual edits and merges? If the only revisions in the branch were the result
of merges, then the file could be safely deleted. If there were any
revisions that were actual modification in the branch, then the result
should be a conflict. 

If scanning back up the branch is not possible, then the result should
always be a conflict. I think that leaving the file 'alive' but not marked
as a conflict is always incorrect.

Andy
