Great! (Sanity check: is there definitely a test in there that tests
the behavior we want?)

*nod* This all looks like the right approach to me.

This raises an interesting question: should SVN_DEPTH_TO_RECURSE()
itself change to the behavior you have above? I surveyed its callers:
it looks like approximately half could use (or could easily be changed
to use) the behavior you wrote above, and about half need the current
behavior of SVN_DEPTH_TO_RECURSE().

I'm not sure what to recommend here, I just wanted to raise this
issue. If you have time to take a look at that as a separate change,
even better.

I feel silly saying this, but if one clause has braces, we usually
make sure they all do. I personally don't mind either way, but it
helps make the code more readable for a lot of people.

The logic here looks good to me: it's exactly the depth-shortening
effect I'd expected to see as we walk down the directory hierarchy.

Ah, okay, I think I understand: if the operation's requested depth is
not svn_depth_infinity, then an entry->depth can't override it --
after all, if this were a new server, it wouldn't give us the
information we'd need to descend anyway. It's only because of the
old-server case that we have to ignore content coming down the pipe.
But if svn_depth_infinity, then we're getting exactly what we want
from the pipe, and the question is: what depth is the wc using?

Is that a fair summary of the reasoning here?

(Just trying to make sure I understand the code.)

Hmmm. This is in close_directory(). Are you sure you didn't mean
svn_depth_empty intead of svn_depth_exclude?
