I'd be surprised if the "performance gain" is measurable, even without
optimisation. Once you add optimisation any gain might well disapear
altogether, have you looked at the generated code? As for
consistency, I suppose you are making function return style (or
something else?) more consistent, but you are also reducing
consistency: most svn_xxx calls are wrapped in SVN_ERR and you are
introducing lots of exceptions.
It still looks like pointless code churn to me, I fail to see how the
new code is better or worse than the old code.
