empty parent infinite child

Hi,

If I update a folder with -set-depth=empty and then update a child folder with -set-depth=infinity the parent is still reported as having empty depth by svn info. This is with svn 1.7.6.

Is this by design? Seems weird to me...

Well, yes.  The "empty" depth on the parent means, for example, that if
another working copy creates and commits a new child, 'svn up' won't
pull it.

Note the reverse problem can also happen: a depth=immediates parent
and a depth=exclude child.

So, yes, it's by design.  Maybe we could change the output, but at 2am
I don't have ideas for how we might do that :)
