Hmmm, but if I understand Julian's change correctly, that extra round
trip is no longer happening -- the client isn't requesting a revision
number, but instead omitting it, because the server will default to
HEAD. If that's the case, then when multiple connections are used for
a single status operation, the result may not be atomic.
(Julian, am I understanding things right?)
