In wc-1, a versioned subdirectory can become "obstructed" by rm'ing
the directory and/or dropping a file in its place. The parent
directory has a record of the versioned-subdir, but we (no longer)
have access to its metadata.
In wc-ng, all the metadata is recorded "at the top", so we'll always
have all the metadata for the subdir. In fact, if it is missing, we
can completely restore the entire missing subtree from our central
store of pristines(!).
Now, it is true that we can still have file-vs-dir obstructions in the
working copy that are unrecorded ("what? I see a subdir, but that's
supposed to be a file").
