No, because it might not exist at HEAD. (And I'm not sure if
SVN_INVALID_REVNUM works in this context).
You could pretend you have the target revision of the dir in question,
if you know that the dir exists in that revision. If you don't and
know that an older revision existed, pretend you have that revision.
I don't know your use case, but if you're updating from an old
revision, but still want all the contents, this should work.
