So... how would you implement it? As a new changelist (implemented
under the hood as 'svn info --cl svn:shallow') or depth case (extending
svn_depth_t; not sure this can be done), or directly as an
svn_boolean_t only_shallow parameter to svn_client_info3()?

svn status --shallow
Instead of showing the non-infinity depth value, simply including only
the non-infinity-depth'd items inthe output might suffice?
Note though that 'svn status --shallow --depth=empty' makes sense --- it
means "Don't recurse into those non-infinity-depth items that you're
about to show me" :-).
