I believe so. It doesn't seem to apply to the OPERATION sub-skel. Each
type of conflict has a different set of in-working-copy files that it
may need to record.

I'll update conflict-storage "soon". Not really there right now.

Right. The wcroot is definitely known, and any path is
reachable/computable from there. We don't need to worry about
"basename relative to WHAT directory?"

I've written two functions: svn_wc__db_to_relpath() and
svn_wc__db_from_relpath(). These can/should be used for all
abspath/relpath conversions within libsvn_wc when a path needs to be
persisted. Using them for *other* purposes is verboten.

I'll migrate the workqueue path persistence over to these RSN.
