Excellent. It would be good to see a bit more detail: when are the Etags
going to be fetched: is this going to mean extra round-trips at various
points? e.g. after I checkin, is an extra propfind round needed to get
etags of newly-checked in files?

No, but I've not reviewed as thoroughly as I'd have liked due to being
in the middle of moving house :(

One more thing I thought of: the SVN design doc talks about having
properties defined per:

  "version number, file, directory, and directory entry"

"directory entry" isn't covered by the DAV mapping: I can't think
immediately of why it is useful to define properties for a directory
entry, but presuming it is, how would this be mapped to DAV? I could see
using properties on the parent collection or something, but it's a bit
hacky.
