svn_list_proplist needs the depth API

[Barry Scott <ba...@barrys-emacs.org>]

I noticed this comment in svn_client.h on Trunk while investigating the
very welcome new depth parameter changes.

  * ### TODO(sd): I don't see any reason to change this recurse  
parameter
* ### to a depth right now; it's not exactly part of the
* ### sparse-directories feature, although it's related.  Usually
* ### you would just name the target carefully... Is there a
* ### situation where depth support would be useful here?
*
* If @a target is not found, return the error @c  
SVN_ERR_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND.
*
* @since New in 1.5.

svn_error_t *
svn_client_proplist3(const char *target,
                      const svn_opt_revision_t *peg_revision,
                      const svn_opt_revision_t *revision,
                      svn_boolean_t recurse,
                      svn_proplist_receiver_t receiver,
                      void *receiver_baton,
                      svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
                      apr_pool_t *pool);


One of the biggest performance problems with SVN API is the inability  
to quickly get all the
properties of a single directory. GUI programs need to get all the  
properties of the files
and subdirs in one fast operation.

In pysvn Workbench I had to by pass the SVN API. My code reads the  
prop_base
files because its unacceptable to freeze the GUI for many seconds to  
get trivia amounts
of data.

Please implement depth on the svn_client_prop* API functions.

I added depth support to svn_client_proplist3 in r25007.
