Philip, you're my hero. This bug has been irritating me for so long.

I've read over the diff, and I can understand how it fixes the bug in
my reproduction script: that is, the case where 'svn merge --dry-run'
tries to add a new directory, as well as a new file within it.

But from my casual reading, it looks like the more general problem of
'svn merge --dry-run' showing deep, added subtrees isn't solved. I
mean, if 'svn merge' were to add a tree eight levels deep, would
'--dry-run' show everything? I don't see any
telescoping/de-telescoping of the new 'added_path' field happening.
