Well, you are good at helping it more confusing for everybody.

But not making it use a specific op_depth makes adding the add harder (has
to check the parent op), the revert harder (can't just take the op_depth to
see that it can be reverted by itself) and the commit (see previous mail).

Most of this work will probably be handled by _scan_addition() and specific
DB operations like svn_wc__db_(temp_)op_copy(),
svn_wc__db_temp_op_make_copy(), etc.

I really think all of these would be easier to implement with an explicit
(non-inherited) op_depth for each add as that makes it possible to identify
the impact of these operations without scanning up all the time. (Just
looking at the op_depth would show that scanning up is not needed at all;
using the same op_depth implies that you only have to scan one specific
parent)

But maybe we should look at what Eric finds here, as he is the only one
really working on this right now. (Or it must be that I missed your commits)

The problem can be solved both ways, but for one of these two use cases this
requires more scanning upwards. (Which isn't very cheap for generic use
unless we some transaction/lock around the group of statements)
