I'm not sure what we'd print for local mods, then. Maybe revnums are too
much information.

If the --conflicts format is an extension of the existing formats, then
the first 7 columns already describe any local mods, including conflict
types.
Here's a stab at printing both local mods and the extra conflict columns.
$ svn status --conflicts
MC foo
! C (MM->! ) bar
D C ( M->D ) baz
M C (D -> M) bip
Conflict summary:
Property conflicts: 1
Tree conflicts: 3
I suggest we need the new notation for tree conflicts only. Perhaps
only for the incoming changes, because the text after the arrow seems
to duplicate the first two columns anyway. Or at least, it will as
soon as we manage to skip tree conflict victims. The status is a bit
simpler without the arrow:
$ svn status
MC foo
! C (MM) bar
D C ( M) baz
M C (D ) bip
Conflict summary:
Property conflicts: 1
Tree conflicts: 3
For more information on a tree conflict, run 'svn info <path>'.
$ svn info bar
...
Here the extra --conflicts info is simply the incoming changes (content
and props). In fact, it's short enough that we could avoid the proposed
--conflicts flag and simply print the extra columns by default.

True. We store only one field for the incoming action (deleted, modified,
etc). I suppose one more field for the incoming property action would be
straightforward.
