One thing that might be important is to use the upcoming
madvise(MADV_DONTFORK) on private CQ/QP work request ring buffers.
This would require allocating these from page-sized pools.

Well, since you ask, I am pretty happy with how things work with svn.

Do you expect sufficient development on branches that needs advanced
merging that git provides? I would think we just need an occasional
bugfix there, which should be easy to handle by plain patches.

Hopefully we'll just have a development trunk and stable branches,
not development branches.
