Hi, I'm new to subversion & trying to figure out how to resolve this conflict.

1. our web tech guy (who is currently on vacation) at some point versioned the .htaccess file at the root of our site
2. I had to make changes to the .htaccess file last week, and noticed it was versioned, which it never had been before. I decided this was an error. And I unversioned it, which apparently deleted it from my working copy in the office. 
3. I created a redirect (to make a short link) in the current .htaccess file and committed my changes.
4. This weekend, I was asked to make an edit to the link I'd made. I was at home, so I opened my work laptop and ran TSVN update on my working copy. TSVN announced that there was a tree conflict with the .htaccess file.

I reviewed the documentation on tree conflicts, but I'm still not understanding how to resolve this. 

If I examine the .htaccess file (I'm at the office now) with the repo-browser, and revert the specific version where I unversioned the .htaccess file (and didn't do anything else) would that fix the conflict? And then I could just create the correct redirect and commit my changes? Or what steps should I take? 

Thanks!
Nik

So what I meant was....

3. I created a redirect (to make a short link) in the current .htaccess file and uploaded the edited file to the website.
