[PATCH] Don't create lock directory in repos if not needed

Hi,

while updating my repository (FSFS) to 1.4.0 I noticed that the content
of the two files in the lock directory changed, now saying:
  This file is not used by Subversion 1.3.x or later.
  However, its existence is required for compatibility with
  Subversion 1.2.x or earlier.

As a repository created with version 1.4.0 (or later) without using the
option --pre-1.4-compatible isn't accessible by any older Subversion
version (on the server side) I think that in this case these files don't
have to be created at all.

Please find attached a patch that tries to solve this 'problem' (I am
not sure if this already is the whole story).

Mathias
