David,

I just realized something, which hasn't been noted before. Subversion
*already* has a lock around the access to the repository. Nominally, we
use it to lock out users while a recovery is being performed (altho that
isn't working as designed right now). But you should be able to leverage
that lock for your own needs.

Look in libsvn_repos/repos.c::get_repos() and how it interacts with the
lockfile.

You might be able to significantly reduce your patch size and its
"intrusion" into the Subversion control flow.

Cheers,
