That will postpone all conflicts since with my patch it's the same as svn up --non-interactive And if it was interactive it would only answer one of possibly several conflict prompts in the first place. You probably meant the equivalent of yes p | svn up With the patch applied you can either use yes p | svn up --force-interactive or, as usual, svn up --accept p to postpone all conflicts. Or svn up --accept ':-P' of course.
