I didn't originally intend to introduce caching with this patch, but
it was so simple I could not resist trying! For the intrepid amongst
you, if you want to try it you need to rebuild libsvn_wc/lock.c and
libsvn_wc/entries.c with the pre-processor symbol mentioned in the log
message.

Caching is not complete, it works best for read-only operations.
Things like 'svn diff' and 'svn st' on a Subversion trunk working copy
run four or five time faster on my machine. The the regression test
suite uses about %5 less CPU and runtime. That's not such a big
change because not all the tests use libsvn_wc, the working copies are
small and the caching is less effective on read-write operations like
checkout and update.

Heed the warning about memory use, I really mean it! If you try to
checkout a Subversion working copy with caching enabled you may well
run out of memory.
