That's correct.

Oh yes.

The thing to consider here is that you can share source files between
libsvn_fs_fs and libsvn_fs_base *without* creating a new shared library.
So both libraries will be a bit bigger. Big deal. The overhead of
loading yet another .so is probably much bigger than the overhead of
having a slightly larger .so.
