Neat. Commit your thoughts to notes/.

Note that my immediate goal is simply to get the 'simple' kind of
autoversioning going. That's the kind where you just drag or copy a
file into a mounted svn repository, and the operating system does a
PUT on a public url. Under the hood, mod_dav_svn does a
checkout/write/checkin and generates a new revision.

The locking thing is a humongous can of worms that I'm totally
avoiding right now. We don't yet support the LOCK or UNLOCK methods
one whit at the moment. But later on, we'd like to allow MS Office
clients to open files directly from a mounted svn repository, so they
can LOCK, GET, PUT, PUT, PUT, UNLOCK. This requires either
implementing honest-to-goodness exclusive write locks, or implementing
the *illusion* of such. :-)
