Hey, Paul.  Overall, I think the change makes sense.  I've given some inline
review below.  (This is based mostly on a reading of the patch itself, not a
reading of the patched source files.)

1.7's RA interface still allows clients to request copyfrom information, and
we never know if we might later use this codepath again.  So I'm not sure
it's accurate to claim that "1.7+ clients don't require this block".  Maybe
TortoiseSVN is using it?  Maybe our repos diff code will use it (I seem to
recall someone talking about doing this)?  I think this whole comment change
can be reverted.

This removal doesn't seem right.  There are two kinds of checksum sent over
the wire in this REPORT response:

1.  a "base-checksum", which is the checksum of the file against which a
content delta is being transmitted (so the client can verify that it's about
to apply that delta against the right base), and
2.  a "text-checksum", which is the checksum of final text content (either
as retrieved via fulltext or via delta application to a base.

Maybe I'm overlooking it, but it seems you're no longer transmitting the
text-checksum any longer.
