Cache invalidation has a couple of effects:

  - the cache doesn't work very well for the most common access pattern,
    i.e. mod_dav_svn doesn't scale as well as svnserve.

  - the cache causes out-of-date data to be written for some unusual
    access pattern

I wrote a regression test (r1617500) for the second part but I have not
raised an issue.
