It worked in my limited testing with mod_dav_svn (see commit to that
to use the locks if mod_dav_lock is available).

As far as detecting 'loss of lock,' I'm not really sure what we could
do. I wonder if we stored the ETag with the lock and verified the
ETag was identical in the lock precondition tests (where we check if
the lock has expired). Does mod_dav_svn allow easy computation of
the etag? ISTR a mod_dav hook for getting the etag for a resource.

Or, do we have to toss locks when the commit is made? I don't think
we can toss on commit, because a commit could be made via ra_svn and
our code would never get called. It seems we'd have to verify them
when the lock is attempted to be used (or an operation on a locked
resource).

I'm going to try to spend some time working on Issue #773 now that
I've got autoversioning working for me. If people have thoughts or
suggestions to mod_dav_lock, patches are welcomed. =-) -- justin
