[PATCH] Fix --depth behavior for svn add (Re: Semantics of --depth: should define WC-depth for omitted-items?)

From: Rui, Guo <timmyguo_at_mail.ustc.edu.cn>

I attach the patch in this mail to fix this in-consistency. This is my first
code patch and takes me some time to go through the code.

Function svn_wc_add2() is the one that is responsible to actually add items to
wc and schedule an add at commit time. It does not take a depth parameter and
is not appropriate to be tuned to accept one, since it handles both directory
and file items. The function always use an infinity depth when adding new
directory, since there is no way to get the proper depth value. (And there is
a comment dated back to r26607 -- by you, Karl -- declaring that this is a
proper behavior.) So, the proper depth should be adjusted by the caller of
svn_wc_add2() when needed.

However, there is no way to change only the depth of an existing dir outside
the libsvn_wc code base. I introduced a helper function for this purpose. And
the problem remained is simply call it at proper places. Currently, the
following two behavior is maintained: 1) existing dir is never touched for
'svn add --force --depth=xxx existing_dir'; 2) intermediate parents is set to
svn_depth_empty for 'svn add --parents target_deep_in_subtree'.

I think it would be handy to have an notification when there are items newly
added (since last update) but just excluded by the depth setting of current
wc. This should include a new file/dir immediately under a existing directory
that is set to empty/files, but should not include a new item deeply under a
totally excluded subtree. What do you think about it?

Here are change logs for the patch:
[[[
Make the --depth option in svn add works in the same way with svn ci, up etc.

* subversion/include/svn_wc.h
  (svn_wc_add_adjust_depth): Declare the new helper function.

* subversion/libsvn_wc/adm_ops.c
  (svn_wc_add2): Update the comment about depth to indicate that this function
    default to svn_depth_infinity
  (svn_wc_add_adjust_depth): New helper function to adjust depth.

* subversion/libsvn_client/add.c
  (add_dir_recursive): Adjust depth after a directory is added, only when it
    is really a new directory.
  (add): Pass all directory target to add_dir_recursive, otherwise adjustment
    will also be needed here.
  (add_parent_dirs): Adjust intermediate parents to svn_depth_empty

* subversion/tests/cmdline/depth_tests.py
  (add_tree_with_depth_files): verify depth & added new tests for the --force
    & --parents situation
]]]

And I also made some cleanups for the code:
[[[
Some cleanups:
* subversion/include/svn_client.h
  (svn_client_add3): Update the document that -N is mapped to svn_depth_empty

* subversion/libsvn_client/add.c
  (svn_client_add4): Fold up duplicated code in both path of a branch
  (svn_client_add3): Map the -N to svn_depth_empty, make it consistent with
    the mapping in svn/main.c
]]]

PS: I'm really not good at splitting a unified patch into logical independent
changes sets. What's the best way of handling this? I just edit the patch file
by hand this time and not sure about whether they are still valid.
