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. -- C.
