The commit harvester should be something like:
Phase 1: Walk the tree (limited by depth) to find restructuring operations
that must be committed. (Handle delete + copy + add (+ in 1.8 move)). Some
of these operations will apply deeper then the limited depth (See issue
#3699 and others), but only their operations are handled in these step: not
local content changes.
(This phase should see each local added directory/file as a separate
operation, or a svn ci --depth empty DIR would commit all added children.
Copies are one operation for the entire tree)
Phase 2: Walk the tree (limited by depth) to find which nodes that have a
pristine version with text or props that differs from the current version.
(adds are ignored here; already handled in step 1).
This would leave all operations outside the selected depth in the working
copy for committing later; a much saner operation then the current behavior
where an add or copy turns a depth limited operation in a recursive commit,
including all the local modifications deeper in the tree.
