when we say, "svn update, svn switch, and svn resolve can now
'automatically' resolve
tree conflicts involving locally moved files or directories.", one would
not expect to see a menu thrown in front of them (with trivial questions)..
What I would think of in this case is the "incoming edit" me applied
against the "local-move"d file and just say,
Resolved conflicted state of 'dir1/file1'
Summary of conflicts:
Tree conflicts: 0 remaining (and 1 already resolved)
Just my thoughts.. Not sure if it makes sense with respect to our
current code.
