The only way to commit a folder without its files is to do it
non-recursively, but Subversion does not allow certain types of folder
changes to be committed non-recusively. So we detect that scenario
and let you know that if you want to commit that change, you also need
to commit everything beneath it so that we can do a recursive commit.
