I don't think that's what Branko meant, but I don't see how we can do
what he says unless mod_dav_svn can somehow pop up three minutes after
the lock request and nullify the lock.

(To put it another way: if I use mod_dav_svn to request a lock which
expires after three minutes, and then I use ra_local to attempt to
commit to the file five minutes later, that commit needs to succeed.
Which means either mod_dav_svn did something active three minutes after
the lock request, or ra_local knows something about lock expiry.)
