Thank you, Vlad. That all makes sense; I'd forgotten that that's how
it works.
So then we just have to figure out whether passing 'svn_depth_unknown'
to svn_client__checkout_internal() should be officially OK. I'm
inclined to think it should be, and that it would just be like
svn_depth_infinity except when there's a working copy already there,
in which case the existing depth is used.
Do you agree?
