Ahhhh, nope. wc-t1 (in the example above) may contain dir-props that
need to be examined. Should we be storing dir-props in the nameless
root node instead?

Heh, of course I did the opposite. I made the systems match by
calling wc_to_tree(wc-t1), and then comparing against a homemade tree
constructed out of paths that *all* began with 'wc-t1'.

Hm. I'm not sure what to think. What's the elegant answer here?
