I have asked for the status of test.txt and dir1/ without consideration
of child items. Of course a --depth parameter does not make much sense
for files, but I think the current behaviour is at least misleading.
Especially because svn update behaves different:

$ svn update --depth empty test.txt dir1/
G test.txt
Updated to revision 213.
  U dir1
Updated to revision 213.

So, if it is "wrong" to return the status for a file with --depth empty,
why does "svn update" update the file with --depth empty given?

The first command would also return the status of the files and
subdirectories of dir1/.
I'm trying to get the status for exactly those (and only those) files
and directories that I pass as to svn status as command line arguments,
i.e. I don't want the status of subdirectories or files in folders.
