Nice analysis, Philip. Can you file this as a 1.2.1 bug, and assign
it to fitz? I think this was his code. :-)

This doesn't need to hold up svn 1.2.0; it's easily worked around via
multiple single-target calls to svn_client_lock(). (And the network
layers *still* do separate requests for each lock either way!)
