I'm pretty sure this isn't an option. We try to resist adding extra
switches to command whenever we can, and it's a big no-no to *remove* a
1.2 switch in a 1.3 release.

So I think 'svn commit' will release locks by default, and have a
single --keep-locks option.

That said, we could create a new ~/.subversion/config variable called
"commit-keeps-locks = yes", or "always-keep-locks" or something.
