My apologies. I reviewed the thread kind of quickly and came to the
wrong conclusion, I guess. (And then I went back and read it again, and
still came to the wrong conclusion.)

Information about your own locks may become stale if somebody breaks
your lock, but that's a somewhat extraordinary circumstance, so it
doesn't bother me. (Especially since, unlike last-author and
last-changed-date information, we have a mechanism for finding out about
broken locks during "svn update".)

I don't have a strong opinion as to whether the cached information
should include the lock reason and lock author. It seems unnecessary to
me, but it also doesn't seem excessively costly.
