I'd need to compare befores and afters to answer this with confidence, and
I'm just not up for it tonight.

Here's what I know:

In 1.6, Serf had a property cache in place that was *supposed* to help
reduce unnecessary requests. That cache is no longer present, because Ivan
said it wasn't actually providing much benefit in real-world cases.

If we aren't getting the benefit of eliminating the PROPFIND triplet (the
infamous baseline-info-exchange), all that remains as a saving point are the
elimination of the CHECKOUT requests (roughly one per committed path) and
activity DELETE requests (one per commit).
