Right, so my proof of concept is about 2x faster (0.5s vs 1.0s). It is
probably very close to mergeable if we care to put a strict test suite
around it.

Other nice bits... I checked the time to decode the 'most complex'
per-file revision properties on the mysql code, and it is down to 4ms
down from 41ms.
