For the most part, we don't worry much about "this dir". The wc_db
conceptually has just one block of metadata associated with
"/some/path/to/dir". Implementation-wise, however, we *do* still have
two blocks of metadata. Thus, we have some internal goings-on to deal
with that, and a few temporary APIs like db_temp_is_dir_deleted().

The differences *do* come up when you are messing around with access
batons, since those define the reference point. But as we eliminate
the batons, we also remove the need to distinguish *which* reference
point you're using.

db_read_children() only returns children (per the name!), and never "."
