What do the different columns (of letters) mean for the svn merge output?

The output of SVN merge has 4 columns of letters listed before the file name. I understand the meaning of the letters (mostly) but I can't find any information on the meanings of the columns and so only have a vague understanding based on context. Can anyone point me to the documentation on this?

Based on context I've been able to infer that column:

  1. Is about text changes to a file
  2. Seems to be related to use of the svn ignore command on a folder (or maybe it's just properties of the file?)
  3. I've never seen a letter in the third column and hence I have no idea what it means.
  4. Might be tree conflicts? This is the one I'm mostly worried about because I don't know how to handle it yet.

With the links given by Corey, you can also look at this "Subversion Commands and Scripts". This page has detailed explanation about the svn commands. Also the detailed explanation for svn merge is available at 'svn merge'

Hope this helps.
