Thanks!

BTW, I think we should (silently) skip a file-add in a tree-conflicted
tree, rather than flag a new tree conflict. And of course skip all
other changes, too. Otherwise the user might see a whole treeful of
t.c. victims, and not be sure where the problem started. A single
tree conflict, raised at the root of the tree during open_directory(),
should be enough.

I believe the first two columns tell the user what changes the update
has made in their working copy. If a path is skipped due to a tree
conflict, we should leave these columns blank.

Of course, we plan to skip all tree conflict victims (very soon), so
the 'x C' will become ' C' in all cases.

If ' C' is too cryptic, we could add the '(M->!)' later.

Yes, if the switch and merge tests aren't badly affected. Looking
into that now.

But the whole tree is already tree-conflicted, so raising new tree
conflicts insided it is redundant.

No, currently we test only fresh tree conflicts. Good point.

True. The final status check in every run_and_verify_X() runs with the
-q option, ignoring files and dirs that aren't under version control.

I think I'll change our DeepTreesTestCase class (on trunk) to do the
status check unquietly, because so many t.c. victims don't exist.

Cheers,
Steve
