The tree conflict cannot be avoided at present.

Your suggestion to "disable tree conflicts for dirs" really boils
down to one particular way of resolving the conflict. Someone else
might prefer a different resolution. For instance, they might want to
rename one of the dirs after the merge to have the two new directories
side-by-side.

For now, you will have to somehow resolve the conflict using svn commands.
We are planning to add interactive resolution menus for tree conflicts.
But there is still a lot of work to do before this will become reality.
You're welcome to pitch in and help us out with development efforts
towards this goal.
