Possible regression with empty checkouts of repos in 1.7.

Hi,

I used to be able to do:
svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages
cd packages
svn up pacman
rm -r pacman
svn up

and it would leave me with an empty, working copy on my computer in
subversion 1.6.17

When I upgraded to subversion 1.7.2, after doing the same set of
commands as described above,
the last svn up brings back the pacman folder into the working copy.

So far, I haven't been able to find any documented proof that this is
an intentional change.

Finally, when I run:

svn up --set-depth exclude pacman

This works as expected.

So my question is, am I experiencing a regression? Or is this new,
intended behavior with subversion 1.7?

Thanks for your time!
