FWIW, this line of thought is consistent with the original FS backend
and dump/load design goals. The guiding principle was about preserving
as much information as we could rather than presuming that we knew what
information did and didn't matter to an administrator. This is why
svn_fs_props_changed() and svn_fs_contents_changed() never bothered to
compare the respective prop/text content, but merely noticed that the
DAG had or hadn't been adjusted.
