These are conflict markers. svn creates them if you update a file with local
modifications and the update touches the same parts where the modifications
are. You have to resolve them by hand (delete the <<<<<<<, ======= and
>>>>>>> lines and choose whatever is appropriate from the lines inbetween.

My observations are that svn is not as good as cvs in conflict resolving,
i.e. I get more often something like

<<<<<<< .mine
bla
=======
bla
>>>>>>> .r13225

which obviously is not really a conflict, but rather a change that was
already in my local copy.
