Yep, reading the code confirms this. We create a UUID.

Too bad we don't have a SQL backend... we could just create the txn and set
a property on it with the UUID (svn:dav-activity-uuid = UUID). Then
mod_dav_svn would merely need to query the repository for uncommitted
transactions with that property value.
