I ran fast-import on the git.git and linux.git repositories - this action reports the overall memory allocated to pools. The overall memory used by pools did not change in my tests (git.git used 2 blocks, and linux.git used 12 blocks). I included this information in the corresponding commit message.

I included these details in the commit message that adds the field indicating the cache_entry was allocated from a mem-pool.
