However 'svn info -rHEAD' makes a server round trip to convert HEAD to
a number, then 'svn info -rN' is run under the hood. by which time
HEAD may have changed, URL may have been deleted, etc. I suppose you
feel it is acceptable to display lock information for -rN in that
case?

I suppose there are two questions: what does svn_client_info return,
and what does the client display?

Allowing a peg revision means that the path could change when tracking
the history. To which path does the lock information apply?

Given that locks can be taken on paths that don't yet exist, does
running 'svn info URL' on an URL that does not exist return lock
information or an error?
