Some tangible results of this:

  * 'svn log branch/foo.c' now shows the branch-creation as a real
    event in foo.c's history, even though foo.c itself was only
    *implicitly* copied when its parent got copied.

  * 'svn log -rX:Y' is doing less work.

  * Fixes bugs in 'svn log --strict'.

  * We have a new fs API for walking the history of a node using a
    cursor-like interface.

  * Internally, the mechanism for choosing copyids was broken. (OK,
    that's not tangible, but a matter of correctness.)
