missing support for svn --depth

[Wesley J. Landaker]

It would be great if bzr-svn could support svn's notion of working copy depth, such as is supported by svn checkout --depth, update --set-depth, etc.

Right now, if I create a SVN working copy with svn --depth, bzr seems to operate on it correctly (at least, I haven't noticed a problem doing this yet).

However, there doesn't appear to be any way to do this with bzr heavyweight branches or checkouts, nor any way to emulate the operation of svn update --set-depth and friends which change the depth on the fly.

For me, the main driving use case for this feature in bzr-svn is the same as the use case for having the feature in svn. Primarily this is so that I can check out disparate hand-picked chunks of large multi-gigabyte repositories.

I mentioned this in bug #318993, but Jelmer pointed out that this should be filed separately.

Thanks for the bug report.

This is primarily held back by the fact that bzr itself doesn't support
this.
