What has happened is the branch you are merging from is modified, and 
the branch you are merging to is removed.  This is a conflict that must 
be resolved - there is no other reasonable action.  The file is 
(logically) empty, and no merge can work.

If you're getting a lot of this then review your working processes - 
people should *not* be routinely working on files that have been removed 
elsewhere.
