sparse directories on 1.5 question
can i change the --depth argument at any time in a working copy to
give me more or less hierarchy under a particular directory? sometimes
i want just an empty dir, other times i want everything.. does the
sparse directories feature handle that?

There are not explicit commands to remove checked out depths in 1.5 but
there are workarounds.
For the discussion/bug reports see:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2843
Also see the following for the remaining bug which affected the
workaround (and is resolved in 1.5):

hmm, so way to change the depth of a sparse directory in the workspace
once you've done the initial checkout..
thats a real shame, thats exactly what we need!
