'svnadmin load' is using synchronous deltification. Even when we were
calling 'svnadmin deltify' from the post-commit hook, 'svnadmin load'
still did in-process deltification. In other words, with respect to
deltification, 'svnadmin load' hasn't changed its behavior since its
introduction into the codebase.

Actually, wait a second. I don't think that Karl introduced *any*
fork()s into the system. He just put the deltification call into a
pool cleanup hook on the Apache request pool. And svnserve is doing
in-process deltification, too.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Brane?

That's correct. At the time, I think there were about 7000 revisions
in that repository.
