Well, I don't know if I particularly like building infrastructure for
theoretical new backends for the fs library, but hey, I'm not the one
doing the work.

I'd also say that 'libsvn_fs_base' would be nicer than
'libsvn_fs_baseline', to stress that it's a sort of 'base class' for
other db based implementations to extend. I'm not sure what exactly
'baseline' indicated to me when I first saw it, but it wasn't that.

makes sense.
