This is not strictly accurate. mod_dav_svn will inline property changes
even to ra_serf for files which are not "added" per the delta editor drive.

So, yeah, for *checkouts*, ra_serf sends 2 HTTP requests for each file.

For updates/switches/diff/merge/status, ra_serf will only send the GET for
each file whose content was modified, plus a PROPFIND for any "added" file.
