I guessed it was something like but I had to deduce that from the fact
that this patch was written. I don't think the fs_config restrictions
are clear to somebody reading the API documentation.

If I have understood correctly: for any given filesystem all calls to
svn_fs_create, svn_fs_open and svn_fs_verify and and svn_fs_new need to
ensure that the same fs_config is used (perhaps NULL). I don't think
that restriction is explicitly documented in svn_fs.h.
