Is that really allowed in our contract?

Well, the ra_dav commit editor can't function (efficiently) with just
the information presented by the editor interface.

I would say the right time to introduce this machinery is when we have
something other than libsvn_wc that stores local properties. For now,
it's probably best to let the commit editor assume it's being driven
by libsvn_wc.
