bug in svnx and rollback of /trunk/platforms/Cross/vm/sq.h needed (1172)

[John M McIntosh]

Well the svnX tool does tell you you have a merge pending, and it does  
allow you to do fileMerge or diff. If one chooses not to
it still doesn't prevent one from finding a bug that commits your stale  
version without asking.
The only thing this would gain is on a commit you wouldn't have your  
stale version go up by accident since you would need to do an add  
first.
Still I'll consider it until I decide if the tool is trustworthy enough.
