[PATCH] Implement negative connection cache in terms of gencache

[Marc VanHeyningen]

Volker, thanks for the fixes.  I initially write this on 3.0.23c 
(still in use here at Isilon for a while, alas) and forward-ported 
it, which is where the issues you found came in.

Didn't know git could handle trailing whitespace automagically; handy!
I'll add that to the default config information for everyone here at
Isilon.

Marc

Thanks!

Attached find some patches over yours, please comment. In
particular the crash one should have shown up in your
testing.

In case you want to apply them, I've applied your patch with

[apply]
        whitespace = strip

in my ~/.gitconfig which removed some trailing whitespaces.
So my patches might create conflicts, but I'd like to not
add trailing whitespace in new code.
