That's the Interface That Users Demand[tm], but is it clear that we
can _implement_ that?

That is, does Darcs compute the conflicts before applying any patches,
or does it apply prerequisite patches until it encounters a conflict?
If the former, we're OK (except that it's totally non-lazy and sounds
hellaciously inefficient in the no-conflict case).

If the latter, it's quite possible that the conflict region is now in
a state that the user will never have seen before!  In that case
"local" is a lie.
