I find it odd in Explorer that you always see both when a conflict exists:
* first the conflict at the top of the GUI status report
* then the BASE/OTHER/THIS files in the Unversioned section
Resolving the conflict is a mandatory action and it's that resolution
process (and only that process IIUIC) that cleans up these files. Yet,
like every other unversioned file, Explorer suggests adding, deleting or
ignoring these. :-(
It's feels wrong that they even appear but I'd prefer not to add special
handling in the GUI when I can't see a good reason for not fixing the
command line UI as well.
So my vote is to add them to the ignore list. That fixes both status and
accidental additions, doesn't it?
