He can now do whatever he likes with the file, for example remove the changes made by user A and then commit. Now the user A changes will be gone. But it depends on what user B does. Conflicts are only shown during *update* and they will happen only if you update a file you have started editing when the other user has also edited this file in approximately the same area as you have and then committed his edit. In all other cases there will *not* be a conflict. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
