Our arguments was:
1) BDB is faster in our case. We have 2-4 gb repositories, 20-50k
revisions, much binary data, big commits and heavy load.
2) BDB is transactional database, so any fail should be fixed by
transaction rollback.
3) BDB looks more tested.
4) FSFS have long post-commit phase -- this could produce timeout
problems on big commits
5) FSFS was much slower over HTTP/DAV
6) Initialy we planned to use Windows server so storing 50k files in
one directory would cause performance degradation. Anyway after
testing we switched to Linux server.
