 Finally, make svn_ra_svn__list_t actually a fully typed, ra_svn-specific
 object.  Update the creation functions; everything else already "just fits".
 
+This change provides small performance and memory usage improvements
+over plain APR arrays. The runtime savings come from apr_array_push
+calling overhead and the non-allocation of the items array in case it is
+empty. The space savings are due to allocating only the amount of elements
+needed (if these are no more than 4) and the smaller array header type.
+
+However, more performance improvements will be provided by follow-up
+commits that merge array and string headers with the item type.
