Stefan2 et al.:
Nodeprops caching is new in 1.10. This caused me to have a look at the
code for enabling it, and I noticed the following in FSFS (and the same
in FSX).
In subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/caching.c@1787000, around line 100:
> /* don't cache text deltas by default.
Wrong: the default was changed to TRUE in r1517479, and this new default
is contrary to the reasoning given in this comment.
> * Once we reconstructed the fulltexts from the deltas,
> * these deltas are rarely re-used. Therefore, only tools

The default of TRUE doesn't match that behaviour, does it? To do so,
should the last argument (below) be "*cache_txdeltas" instead of "TRUE"?

Also, the handling of these flags in mod_dav_svn (around line 990) is odd:
svn_boolean_t
dav_svn__get_txdelta_cache_flag(request_rec *r)
{
dir_conf_t *conf;
conf = ap_get_module_config(r->per_dir_config, &dav_svn_module);
/* txdelta caching is enabled by default. */
return get_conf_flag(conf->txdelta_cache, TRUE);
}
svn_boolean_t
dav_svn__get_fulltext_cache_flag(request_rec *r)
{
dir_conf_t *conf;
conf = ap_get_module_config(r->per_dir_config, &dav_svn_module);
return conf->fulltext_cache == CONF_FLAG_ON;
This construction ("==ON") means the default here is OFF, which is the
opposite of the default that FSFS would apply if we didn't pass it any
value for this flag.
}
svn_boolean_t
dav_svn__get_revprop_cache_flag(request_rec *r)
{
dir_conf_t *conf;
conf = ap_get_module_config(r->per_dir_config, &dav_svn_module);
return conf->revprop_cache == CONF_FLAG_ON;
}
svn_boolean_t
dav_svn__get_nodeprop_cache_flag(request_rec *r)
{
dir_conf_t *conf;
conf = ap_get_module_config(r->per_dir_config, &dav_svn_module);
/* node properties caching is enabled by default. */
return get_conf_flag(conf->nodeprop_cache, FALSE);
The code here uses a default value of "FALSE", which is different from
the fsfs.conf default value (see above), and doesn't match the comment here.
