I'm afraid we have another problem here. svn_ra_get_locks and
svn_fs_get_locks are recursive operations. In FSFS we could easily allow
depth 1 (or whatever depth we wanted). That's not the case in bdb. Maybe
we choose the bad tradeoff here.

svn_ra_get_dir could do an svn_fs_get_lock (server side) for each entry,
but that's also a slowdown.

Stefan: Another idea. status -u gives you all lock information. Maybe you
could give lock information in whatever in your GUI corresponds to that,
instead of the repo browser?
