Re: [PROPOSAL] Drop XML from .svn/entries

Before we go ballistic about file formats, I'd like to note that the
real problem with XML in .svn/entries isn't speed but all the escaping
that needs to be done. Escaping will be needed with any format, but XML
is a special PITA here.

I'd also like to point out that we have a config file parser that's
quite good enough for entries files, so please don't invent another file
format. That parser may need some optimisations if we use it for entries
files, but at least it's not completely new code.
