Cache invalidation has a couple of effects:
- the cache doesn't work very well for the most common access pattern,
i.e. mod_dav_svn doesn't scale as well as svnserve.
- the cache causes out-of-date data to be written for some unusual
access pattern
I wrote a regression test (r1617500) for the second part but I have not
raised an issue.
