I'm thrilled that we now have an army of programmers discussing how to
make libsvn_wc cache entries. Once this problem is tackled, it will
not only massively speed up commits, but status and update as well.
All three operations involve huge tree walks.

The key here is to do it in small steps... rather than any one person
take on a herculean rewrite in solitary confinement. I think everyone
realizes this now. It looks like Philip has already committed a good
first step; keep the discussion going!
