Bah. There's no need for an error. The user didn't do anything wrong. 'svnlook dirs-changed' prints which directories were changed in a given revision. For revision 0 (which is a real snapshot), nothing was changed, so just print nothing and exit successfully, just as we would for any other no-op revision. -- C.
