Note that while this might be/look supported... it is also a typical example
which triggers issue #3569.

You switch the directory to a new revision, but don't update its list of
children to match that revision. So you will never receive the children of
the node, even if you perform svn update --set-depth infinity.

(There is no way to fix this situation except switching this node back to
its original location_at_rev with depth empty and then performing the switch
recursively)
