No conflict should ever occur when applying patches in
arch_build_revision, because each patch immediately follows the
previous.

Two possibilities come to mind
1. Some kind of user error
2. Corrupt archive

It would be helpful to know
- which archive in particular, especially if this archive is public or
can be made public.
- Does this happen with the 1.1 stable release?
- At what point in applying the patches does this happen?
- Are you invoking the command somewhere other than the tree root?  Does
it happen if you invoke it in the tree root?
