...let me clarify.

I asked r.wocher to send a bug report to dev@, but unfortunately, r.wocher,
you have not mentioned the core issue, nor how to reproduce it.

Let me try to re-state how I understand r.wocher's report:

The problem is having a lock comment with special characters (like German
Umlauts).

This works fine when using the file:// scheme, but when using http://,
r.wocher said this happens:

"
SLES10 / Subversion 1.6.2 with WebDav Access and the standard pre-lock file.
[When] the lock comment contains special chars like 'äöüß' then the lock
froze and nothing happens. i must restart the apache2 or kill eclipse.
"

The reproduction should simply be: try to set a lock using special chars
over ra_neon, compare with doing the same over ra_local. Try both with the
"standard pre-lock hook" and without a pre-lock hook.

(Haven't verified myself, just trying not to lose a potential bug report)
