I agree that 'svn-bench' could be useful for users, but what is the
reason for non-standard naming? Why this tool is not named 'svnbench'
?

I doubt that 'svnfsfs' can be moved to "main" Subversion in the
current state because it uses internal library headers and functions
from libsvn_fs_fs:
[[[
#include "../libsvn_fs_fs/index.h"
#include "../libsvn_fs_fs/pack.h"
#include "../libsvn_fs_fs/rev_file.h"
#include "../libsvn_fs_fs/util.h"
]]]

Have you considered this? What is about ABI/API issues? Note that we
never include such headers in current Subversion code except
"fs-loader.h" and tests.
