I just commited a change to the "structure" file, renaming ENTRY to
ENTRY-NAME in the Clones section, and adding the appendix. Please yell
if I goofed.

Now I have two more questions, regarding the filesystem revisions table.

1) Why is the revision skel ("revision" ID PROPLIST), instead of just
(ID PROPLIST)? Will there be other kinds of records in the "revisions"
table?

2) The table description says:

    Since Berkeley DB record numbers start with 1, whereas Subversion
    filesystem revision numbers start at zero, revision V is stored as
    record number V-1 in the `revisions' table.

Surely that can't be right? If the number ranges are correct, then the
mapping should be "filesystem revision V -> record number V+1".
