 libsvn_ra_dav's sending code should be using all new namespaces. The
 SVN_DAV_FEATURE_USE_OLD_NAMESPACES code is only for the properties

Ah! Cool! I saw its presence, and wrongly assumed it was part of the
sending. You're right... it is about reception.

*Except* when patching the baseline (fetch.c:svn_ra_dav__change_rev_prep)

That boy needs to be tweaked.

Hmm. We also fetch the wrong property in svn_ra_dav__rev_prop(). It seems
like current clients run against current servers won't fetch the right
property.

  It sounds like maybe a 'make davcheck' with 0.17 wasn't performed before
  release. :-(
 
 Again not true. :-) See the above.

Great. I figured you guys woulda done something, but I couldn't see how it
would have passed, given my false assumptions :-)

So there are two questions:

* do we want to let 0.16 clients commit to 0.17 servers? if it is just a
  namespace thing, then let's give it a bit more time to switch to clients
  that send new-style namespaces.

* it seems like we still have some properties problems, identified above. I
  haven't run the test to confirm, though. Assuming there is a problem, it
  would seem a 0.17.1 is in order, and we can relax the server at the same
  time.
