Hi Ivan,

(Julian - ccing you as you originally added this bit of code that Ivan
tweaked here)

The comment is a bit misleading. We don't *unconditionally* check the
target WC for mixed-rev, local mods, and/or switched subtrees, it
depends on what the caller asks for. Yes, currently the only two
callers of client_find_automatic_merge() unconditionally pass
ALLOW_LOCAL_MODS=TRUE and ALLOW_SWITCHED_SUBTREES=TRUE, so the comment
here is effectively true, but might not be in the future.

Since you were worried about performance with mixed-rev WCs, I wonder
if this is better:
