Yes, the community decided *not* to deprecate -R for exactly this reason --
it's way easier to type "-R" than "--depth infinity". I'll re-add -R to the
reference descriptions of the 10 subcommands which accept it.
$ for i in `svn help | grep '^ [a-z]' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`; do \
svn help ${i} | grep '\-\-recursive' > /dev/null && echo ${i}; \
