It's not cycle counting, because I don't care whether apr_palloc is faster than
apr_pcalloc. The reason to use apr_palloc is code clarity. It avoids the
reader wasting time checking: "This code seems to initialize the memory twice;
am I misunderstanding part of it? apr_pcalloc... checking... yes, that really
does initialise it. The copy "*dupinfo = *info"... checking... yes, that
really is copying the whole size of the structure, so that does too. Oh well."

svn_wc_entry_dup() fixed in r16647. Thanks for pointing it out.
