No, I think that auto-resolving tree-conflicts involving moves is most
important task for Subversion 1.8. But I feel it could be implemented
without implementing FSFS successor ID storage. It seems that
algorithm that you posted could be reversed.

Anyway we can implement top-level part of handling moves and then
optimize it using FSFS successor ID storage or something else.
