Like this?

;;;###autoload
(defun smerge-auto ()
  "Turn on `smerge-mode' and move point to first conflict marker.
If no conflict maker is found, turn off `smerge-mode'."
  (smerge-mode 1)
  (condition-case nil
      (smerge-next)
    (error (smerge-auto-leave))))

vc-svn-resolve-when-done, or something else?
