I thought this, too. But we already have tons of special-casing based
on custom headers supplied by Subversion clients, all aimed at making
the Subversion client experience better without hurting the generic
DAV clients. So, I started down the road of adding another custom
Subversion client header when it occurred to me that:
- doing so would not help my server deal with older Subversion
clients, and
- I'm only using this where it really wouldn't be the end of the
world if a non-Subversion client just happened to look like one
by its User-Agent droppings.
