Sure. 

Does it provides actions for tree shape conflicts ? 

If yes, then let's compare notes, if not, can you have a look at
the patch and tell me if the proposed changes sounds appropriate
for it.

See my proposed patch about what could be done there, I've added
commented TODO in bzrlib/help_topics/en/conflicts.txt :)

I don't know the reasons but --auto works only for text conflicts
*today*. I'd like to change that as much as you.

    bialix> Ditto for binary files conflicts. If I delete

I've spotted these ones and add TODOs for them, if I missed some,
please tell me !

    bialix> No?

Yes.
