Realistically the UUID really shouldn't be used by caching to decide
if it's looking at the same repo. Since it's exposed to clients users
doing dump/load cycles are going to modify repos and end up with the
same UUID. I'd suggest that we add another UUID that isn't exposed to
the client and that svnadmin can't modify with load. The cache system
should use this UUID for cache purposes.
