1.7 includes performance optimizations by Stefan2, new cache modules,
new cache users, etc.
branches/performance includes, among other things, a file handles cache
for FSFS. The plan is to merge that for 1.8.
branches/revprop-packing packs revprops into flat files (not to sqlite).
A basic form currently works and the final form will be included in 1.8.
