So, I like the spirit of the change, but I think you took my
suggestions too literally. As it turns out, there is no existing
context baton for import operations. So why not just add
'svn_boolean_t *' parameters to all the places you added
'repos_change_baton_t *' ones in your patch. We don't to create a
context baton just to hold one variable. And if we were thinking,
"Hey, a context baton is easy to grow later should we need to," then
we should call that thing 'struct import_ctx_t' or something not so
tied to the "Did-the-repos-change" question.

I think it makes more sense to put this boolean setting line
immediately after the editor->add_directory() calls to which it
corresponds. Yes, that means it will get hit multiple times, but it
will greatly improve code understandability.

Oops. Double-semicolon.

This function name and description are entirely too vague. As we know
from experience, 'svn import' isn't the only route by which folks
have, in the past, been able to generate an empty commit. Suggest
moving this test to a new 'import_tests.py' (I'm really surprised we
don't have one of these already!), perhaps as
import_avoid_empty_revision(), and with a more focused description.
