First off I understand what you're trying to do and appreciate that! But
you're changing API behavior in ways that don't make sense to me.

Surely we can always know that the same transaction root and same path are the
same. However, with FSFS the swig-rb tests are failing right now because of
just this behavior. Specifically this line:
    assert(!txn1.root.props_changed?(path_in_repos, txn1.root, path_in_repos))

Of course you can make changes like this on new APIs. But you can't do this
when the the rules you've defined for FALSE differ from the rules in previous
versions of Subversion so greatly:

This would at least compare the uniquifiers in 1.8.x. Now in the FALSE case
(looking at the code you committed in r1572336) we only compare if the pointers
for the representations are the same for properties in transactions (see
svn_fs_fs__prop_rep_equal). Since the svn_fs_props_changed() API is going to
call get_dag() for both nodes I believe that this API will always return true
for properties in transactions.

This isn't a problem in the file case because you've upgraded it to at least
compare MD5s. But properties don't have MD5's to compare.

This patch fixes the ruby tests for me:

First of all I return FALSE if either of the nodes is missing a property
representation while the other one has one, I don't see a point in doing a
direct comparison in the case of strict if this is true, it's obvious they are
different.

Further, if we're not in strict mode I compare the uniquifier which avoids us
always returning FALSE from svn_fs_fs__prop_rep_equal for transactions. But
I'm not sure if this is really correct, since the old code compared item_index
and revision first.
