"svnlook dirs-changed" on empty repository fails with a strange error

Hello,

If one runs "svnlook dirs-changed" on an empty repository, svn prints a strange error (reproducible
for versions from 1.6 to trunk):

$ svnadmin create svn.repo
$ svnlook dirs-changed svn.repo/
svnlook: E160006: Transaction '(null)' is not based on a revision; how odd
$ svnlook dirs-changed svn.repo/ -r0
svnlook: E160006: Transaction '(null)' is not based on a revision; how odd

The question is: what behaviour is expected? Daniel supposed that "svnlook dirs-changed" should exit
with an error.

 But also I heard another opinion that as r0 is always empty (is that true?), svnlook should just
show no changes. (If r0 can contain some directories, svnlook could display those directories from
r0). I agree with the second opinion.
