D: is the DAV: xml namespace, you're not allowed to invent new DAV:
elements. :-)

But we *can* invent new S:elements. In fact, we just started doing it
in svn 1.2; the client now sends its list of lock-tokens in the MERGE
request inside a new svn: element.

So the only trickiness here is dealing with the protocol compatibility
issues. Obviously, we can make a 1.3 client notice the new element if
the server is new enough to send it. But if we add a new svn: element
to the MERGE response, will older clients get upset and choke on it? I
would try testing a 1.0 and 1.1 client against this idea.

And Branko is right: hooks are always run synchronously; that's why
we so often recommend to users that their post-commit hook run "command
&" on unix or "start command" on windows.
