I think so. We could maintain the "deep" tree status in repos_diff.c
and pass an svn_wc_notify_state_t to the merge callbacks instead of
the boolean. I'll give it a try.
These callbacks are private. So I don't need to rev an API, right?

No, this is for use case 4 "local delete, incoming edit", where we'd
like to distinguish between locally deleted and locally missing.
