True, I compute the former but intended the latter. I neglected to
check whether two reps with matching sha1's are also shared on disk. In
other words, I should key the hashes on (rev file, offset) tuples rather
than on the sha1.

Was trying to avoid malloc'ing an unsigned int. But, indeed, I can't
find a reference allowing the cast. So I have two options:

* malloc an unsigned int

* use pointer arithmetic:
     def increment():
       void *p = apr_hash_get();
       apr_hash_set(p+1)
     def extract_final_value():
       void *p = apr_hash_get();
       return (p - NULL)

I'll go with the first option :)
