I use the same system in AnkhSVN, but then again when I change the changelists
in Subversion I don't use any of the recursive operations: I apply the
changelist changes as a batch of paths.
(It is very expensive to calculate whether I could use a recursive set on a
path and everything below).
For my use case optimizing for batch processing is more important then for
depth processing. (The current code optimizes for depth processing)
And as we don't have proper changelist support on directories yet, some
operations ignore directories when you use changelists (Diff & revert work this
way if I remember correctly), while others apply the same change to all
directories within the original filter (commit as a notable example).
