Yes, it still does nothing and still exits successfully, except that it
requires an explicit path argument: 'svn cl foo --cl bar -R .' now,
instead of 'svn cl foo --cl bar -R' before. The .-less invocation would
not throw an error with the patch; it would do nothing silently.

I think svn_depth_empty would be a better default if dirs can be members
of changelists (otherwise, every changelist-operation on the dir applies
to its children too). I agree svn_depth_infinite is a better default if
dirs cannot be members of changelists.

If all the dir's children should be in a changelist, why not pass that
dir as an argument on the commandline, avoiding changelists altogether?

+1 (moral support).
