Merge happens *after* the fact. I'm checking before even starting a change.
To use merge, I'd have to wait for the postfix deltas, change the nodes in
my transaction, then attempt the merge to see if it was legal to do the
postfix delta in the first place!

Second, if I pass directories to merge, then I'm kinda screwed, no? It will
recurse all the way down...

Merge is "I did this. Was it okay?" ra_dav/mod_dav_svn is "Can I do this?"
I much prefer the latter :-)
