If we only store the names of the commit targets in memory, we should be
okay. At 50 or so bytes per commit target, we only spend a meg for each
20,000 targets.

So for practical purposes, we probably don't need to completely redesign
the commit process to be streamy. Such a redesign would be difficult,
as we store the list of commitables in memory in a number of
places--libsvn_ra_dav keeps a list; the editor driver holds onto file
batons for each file with text mods; svnserve also has to keep track of
file batons when receiving a commit editor drive.

But we do want to avoid reading the entire set of entries into memory,
and (if we aren't succeeding in this already) we want to avoid
allocating a pool per commit target, or allocating any temporary data in
the pools used to keep track of commit targets. I don't know how hard
that will be.
