I just tested with svnserve x fsfs. For every connection it uses this
code to read:
- fsfs.conf (from within find_repos -> svn_repos_open)
- svnserve.conf and authz (from within find_repos -> load_configs).
There's no caching whatsoever, these files are read everytime a client
requests something.
I have no idea of the real performance impact, but maybe I'll do some
measurements later tonight ...
