That's nice!

A good thing. Unfortunately this leaves me with nothing left to do. I
was hoping that I could fix the mime_type and is_binary flag of
svn_wc_conflict_description_t. But I assume that the mime_type of a
property will be stored in the database and accessed through the
functions in libsvn_wc/conflicts.c. I took a peek and saw a lot of not
yet implemented functions.

What about svn di --conflict PATH?
