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 :) James French wrote on Fri, Nov 09, 2012 at 11:46:05 +0000: > 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.
