If we were to clear the cache after taking the write lock, either
unconditionally or if the revprop generation has changed, then we would
become compatible with pre-1.8 style writers.

Of course this does highlight a change in svn_fs_t behaviour. A long
lived svn_fs_t may never see revprop updates as the cache never expires.
The cached values might get pushed out if the process (thead?) reads
other revisions, to get reasonably up-to-date values the caller must not
hold svn_fs_t objects too long.
