A useful thing would be to collect scenarios like this, and then look
them over together, to decide if the best solution is a "--depth N"
option, versus an "--i-mean-the-directory-itself" option, versus some
other solution.
I think like it's a bit too early to settle on --depth until we have a
better feel for the actual problems we're trying to solve. It's true
that --depth is elegant in an abstract, conceptual sort of way, but
that doesn't always correspond well to good user interface design.
I've started http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=781
about this, and mentioned Nuutti's example in the description. If
anyone else can think of other relevant scenarios, please add them to
the issue.
