I actually started coding this one, but backed out for lack of time.
I think the idea is pretty straightforward -- add a new typedef'd enum
svn_depth_t with values svn_depth_zero, svn_depth_one, and
svn_depth_infinity. Rev all public APIs that currently take
recursive/non-recursive type boolean fields, and make their previous
incarnations pass svn_depth_one or svn_depth_infinity instead (except
in the 'svn commit' case, where non-recursive means svn_depth_one).

Never assume that something doesn't work the way you want because it
was too hard. 'svn cat' doesn't work on working copy paths because
there exists for all platforms of interest workarounds:
$ cat path/to/file
$ cat path/to/.svn/text-base/file.svn-base
C:> type path\to\file
C:> type path\to\file\.svn\text-base\file.svn-base
...
