Well, using the TREE_CONFLICTED parameter is actually moving away from
having to have a dir_closed() callback. That's how I perceive the nature of
the diff callbacks: they don't have a child_baton passed around, so they are
supposed to get all the information on a node at the same time (this is
related to my intention to change added_dir() to also include prop changes,
which is the single exception as far as I've seen).

So I'm pretty confident we won't need the dir_closed() callback, at least
not for tree-conflicts. (Still, the dir_opened() is needed because it checks
an existing directory before going through the child nodes.)

Thanks! I'd like to change one to say TRUE and FALSE in upper case, because
that's what is used with svn_boolean_t. Is it standard practice in the doc
strings to write true and false in lower case?
