It's nice if you mention the fact that there will be conflicts, and some people also send me a pre-merged tree that has the conflicts fixed up, but in general it's much better if the different trees ignore each other - that way we don't have random merges that mean that I cannot pull one tree without pulling another. If the conflicts are just insanely bad, I'll ask you to resolve them for me when I hit them, but in general that's a sign that something nasty is going on and people are developing in the wrong trees or just stepping on each others toes too much.
