This experiment is a red herring. Two svn clients cannot 'svn up' or
'svn commit' in the same working copy directory at the same time,
period. That's *exactly* the reason the client locks working copy
directories when operating on them. It's a deliberate design.

So the "lock" error you're seeing has nothing to do with svn-commit.tmp
filename clashes.

The only reason 'svn commit' resorts to generating unique tmpfile names
is the off-chance that an old commit-log file has been left behind by a
previous failed commit. We don't want to accidentally clobber it.
