Note that there are some nice things about the opacity. Given that
you're using a stateless protocol like HTTP to implement a stateful
protocol, it can be convenient to make commits have session affinity;
there's a pretty easy way to hack mod_dav_svn right now to include an
extra token in the URL which your load-balance could use to make
commits have session affinity. (I think we've considered doing this
for code.google but haven't.)
Of course, this is only necessary because the current protocol
implements an atomic commit as a series of independent HTTP requests,
which would hopefully be avoided by a new protocol.
