There is a version bump in version 1.5. However, I can't imagine how
that is relevant to the tree conflicts feature, since I can't imagine
that yet another big feature is going to get into 1.5 before we
branch...

The choice between wcprops and entry fields should be made based on
which is more appropriate for the feature, not version bump reasons.
If this means that you need to do a different implementation for the
mainline version of the feature and for a temporary patch for your
clients, that may be the case...
