This is great news.
I have a custom multithreaded svn server that exposes the svn_fs.h API
using an Apache Thrift style API to remote clients (actually using
ZeroC's Ice, but it's similar). I keep svn_fs_t, svn_repos_t and
svn_fs_root_t persistent in memory so I don't need to go to disk later
if I receive a request for the same revision or repository.
Are these caches static, per fs, or per-something else? Is there a way
to clear them? How is their memory use managed?
Thanks!
