Autsch: YAO (yet another option) ;)
Ok, I'll think about it, but right now I'm more against than in favour
of that. I'll implement something and will try the speed.

It would be a little bit faster. If you call svn_ra_get_locks() inside
svn_client_ls3(), then you can reuse, the ra session. I can't do that.
So if I call svn_ra_get_locks(), I have to create a new session object,
which means another round trip to the server including authentication.
By reusing the session, it's a little bit faster.

Hmmm - if ra_dav already has a list of properties, could this list be
passed to the client too? I mean every information which is available
and could be used by clients can help increase speed. Sure, if ra_dav
doesn't have that information right now, the entries could be set to
NULL - if a client then needs that information it can still ask for it.
