Currently the Subversion working only stores one depth value and this depth
must match what is known about the children.

If you would update this depth to infinity it would imply that all the
children are known in the working copy and a further update would not bring
them in. Fixing this requires keeping a second depth value just to allow
this UI in one of many Subversion clients, with all kind of backwards
compatibility concerns.

What you could do is update/checkout the directory as r0 / the revision in
which it was created. In that revision it most likely doesn't have any
children. The further update would then go to the HEAD revision in which the
children are there.

If you are going to re-use that working copy as template (as I guess from
your question) I would recommend running 'svn cleanup' on it before storing,
to remove unneeded data in the .svn directory.
