I think this may be the answer: a API which takes a wc_ctx, a
repos_root, and a repos_relpath. With that information, we should be
able to resolve a node location (and hence its pristine) without much
difficulty.

We could pass such information along in the baton, but the problem is
sometime this information changes between the time we construct the
baton and the time we use it, as in the case of committing from
disjunct working copies.

I probably need to go back and review that discussion. From my early
work on the ev2-export branch, repos_relpaths vastly simplified the
problem space by giving nodes canonical names, both inside the editor
and in the driver / receivers.

Understood, and I appreciate the eyes you are giving this problem.
There's a *lot* of work to do with revamping the editor, and while
I've got the next one or two steps figured out in my head, there are
still plenty of question marks.

The best thing you (or anybody else reading this) can do, in addition
to review and code, is add tests which exercise questionable cases,
since I'm primarily using the test suite as the standard of
"complete." That's probably not a very good decision. :)
