I'm currently reviewing svn_fs.h and svn_repos.h.
There are a few common issues that I've noticed
and I'd like to fix them in the headers before putting
the non-trivial remainder into the wiki.

* New functions and function types should name
  their pool arguments scratch_pool or result_pool.
* We should mention the pool usage in the docstring
  for completeness.
* Similarly, docstrings should say whether / that
  notification callbacks may be NULL.

* Function references (e.g. in @see) should not
  have "()" attached to them - just to be consistent
  with what we do in most other places.
* A few function references are outdated, i.e. point
  to deprecated functions.

This all applies to new / rev'ed functions only. If nobody
objects, I'd simply change the two headers accordingly.
