| Hi Alex,
You are not the only programmer to experience this. I experience similar useless behaviour in Xcode 5.x with SVN.
The latest crazy behaviour was with Xcode 5.1.1 after I noticed that the Update button was enabled as soon as the compare files dialog opened but, while I was reading the details, the Update button became greyed out!
So I cancelled and repeated the update but this time I immediately clicked on the update button without reading anything in the compare files dialog and the update went ahead OK.
Fine, except that this means I don't get the option of choosing which bits should take the left hand possibility and which bits should take the right hand possibility.
As you have said, this is a crazy bug in the UI of Xcode 5.x!
Overall I like the UI for SVN in Xcode 5.1.1 EXCEPT for this stupid bug which drastically reduces its usability!
(And also, as you have said, all the differences are labelled as Conflicts! Crazy!)

5 - 10 minutes to wait for the interface to update WITH NO USER FEEDBACK for a repo update is insane.
Did the update take 5-10 minutes? If so you got your feedback...
No. The update didn't. The window was open with files to compare and nothing for me to do except click Cancel.
6 minutes transpired and the Update button magically enabled.
Now, as my memory refreshes itself, I remember this happening sometime last week and while I was typing an email asking "What is going on?", the Update button magically enabled AND clicked itself while I was typing an email on another computer.
