Chris is talking about the update of a Spur image, so - if I'm not 
mistaken - he has to reject all changes - aka "Keep Local" -, because 
those changes are from the non-spur branch (no idea how they get there) 
and try to revert some Spur-related changes (e.g. throwing away the 
minVal/maxVal class variables from SmallInteger).
