Sounds good, yes.

I think I got confused a little bit: the API for svn_client_status()
only has a depth param. and svn_client_update has a depth param and a
flag 'depth_is_sticky', so there's no two depth params as in the CL -
one for filtering and one for setting.

Would the svn_client_status3 API get another depth param for this? Or a
flag to allow a depth deeper than the depth of the WC?
