The point being whether other loggy commands may depend on some
tree-conflicts already being recorded when they are run. Adding them up in
memory to only write them at the end would break such a dependency.

Are you *sure* that it's not a problem? Maybe it *will* be a problem some
time? I suggest performing an svn_wc__entries_write() after each loggy
add-tree-conflict command. It's safer, right?
