That will need the new conflict store described in notes/wc-ng/conflict-storage.
We don't have to hold the release on issue #3565.
svn patch is a new feature, and has already passed the original target
feature set anyway. I would have been happy enough with standard unidiff
application without any extras, and now it already does properties, too.
There is one remaining release critical issue in svn patch I am working on.
It opens way too many file handles. Should be fixed soon though, I have
the basics done but still need to debug a little.

AFAICT most commits these days fix release critical stuff. I think we're
already on the right track. It would be nicer if everything went faster
of course. But the best we can do is continue banging stuff into shape until
it is enough for release. Philip's list is very helpful.
