George,
This is a problem with the Makefile. We are looking to greatly simplify the makefile or move to a different build system altogether because it's complex and only one person knows how it actually works well enough to fix it. We are waiting on it to be fixed. It was committed to SVN incorrectly.

Why are we depending on that Makefile that only one person understands?
The problem isn't really the Makefile. And if we move to some other system, most people probably won't bother understanding it, either.
It's that we've changed how pcre is built. Whenever you get a message like that from svn, you can delete the file and svn will check out the new file. The message is svn telling you that it's not going to overwrite a file that you have existing locally with the file from the repository.
