It is even more pointless than that. Looking at the code in
svn_fs_fs__initialize_caches() I see that revprop caching is now enabled
unconditionally for all FSFS access.

The config setting SVN_FS_CONFIG_FSFS_CACHE_REVPROPS is public in
svn_fs.h so it has to remain for backward compatibility. The
mod_dav_svn SVNCacheRevprops apache directive also still exists.
svnserve still has the --cache-revprops command line option.

Oddly, we still have code in mod_dav_svn.c and svnserve.c that responds
to the directive/option setting and changes the setting of
SVN_FS_CONFIG_FSFS_CACHE_REVPROPS in the config hash. That's pointless
as there is no FSFS code that responds to that config setting.

I suppose the mod_dav_svn directive and svnserve command line option
have to remain for backward compatibility, but why do we retain the code
that sets SVN_FS_CONFIG_FSFS_CACHE_REVPROPS?
