These file come up if you have a local change that svn cannot merge with
a change that has happened in the repository meanwhile. Upon update, it
tells you that the file conflicts, and gives you copies of the last
checked out revision before your changes, and the current revision, plus
your own file; in the changelog file itself there are some conflict
markers (<<<...)

I think it's a matter of taste. I had a discussion about this on -devel
long ago, and decided to go the way I did now.
