A careful design should allow conflict resolution to be invoked only
after the network I/O has been completed, i.e.

1) merge automatically until
2) hit conflict, make note of it and keep the new file from the server
3) repeat 1 until completed
4) give the user a chance to resolve conflicts (or just mark files as
conflicted if --non-interactive flag is passed).

It isn't impossible to do without interfering with the network I/O, but
it probably would require that [complete] rewrite of the WC code that
everyone dreads... :(
