Well, the alternative would be to eliminate svn_fs_id_t entirely from the
API,
which implies revving svn_fs_dirent_t and svn_fs_path_change2_t plus
related functions. Simply introducing svn_fs_id2_t in parallel to
svn_fs_id_t
would needlessly duplicate a lot of code exactly because the underlying
representations are incompatible.

I would actually like to remve svn_fs_id_t from the API since it violates
our general path_at_rev / path_at_root pattern (deprecating the old API for
backward compat). Any objections?
