Just to clarify, the optimizations Malcolm seem to be talking about is
wc-propcaching. What has change is that when there are no propmods, there
is only one property file and not two per WC entry. But no properties have
been moved out from the properties file, so a single svn:eol-style="*"
will still result in one property file. That's why it is called caching:-)

As I said in another thread, storing all baseprops in one file per
directory is probably a good optimization as well - in most cases.

Thanks,
