This looks promising, it's quite straightforward to implement. New
log/patch follows:

Extend Subversion's v2 HTTP protocol to include URIs that allow the
client to define the transaction name visible in on the wire.

If the client sends, or a proxy injects, an SVN-VTxn-Name header with
the POST request it defines the transaction name to be returned to the
client in the POST response. If the client recieves the new
SVN-VTxn-Name header it uses that name in the new URIs in the requests
that make up the commit.

By default the client will not send the new header.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/dav_svn.h
  (struct dav_svn_root): Add vtxn_name member.
  (dav_svn__get_vtxn_stub, dav_svn__get_vtxn_root_stub): New.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/mod_dav_svn.c
  (dav_svn__get_vtxn_stub, dav_svn__get_vtxn_root_stub): New.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/posts/create_txn.c
  (dav_svn__post_create_txn): Get vtxn_name from header, if sent, and
   store vtxn_name:txn_name mapping in the activity database.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/version.c
  (get_option): Add vtxn stub and vtxn root stub headers.
  (merge): Delete visible_txn_name:txn_name mapping after commit.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/repos.c
  (parse_vtxnstub_uri, parse_vtxnroot_uri): New.
  (special_subdirs): Add vtxn and vtxr.
  (remove_resource): Delete mapping when aborting the transaction.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/ra_serf.h
  (struct svn_ra_serf__session_t): Add vtxn_stub and vtxn_root_stub.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/commit.c
  (setup_post_headers): New.
  (post_headers_iterator_callback): Handle vtxn name header.
  (open_root): Set header_delegate.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/options.c
  (capabilities_headers_iterator_callback): Support vtxn stub and
   vtxn root stub headers.

* subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/options.c
  (parse_capabilities): Support vtxn stub and vtxn root stub headers.

* subversion/include/svn_dav.h
  (SVN_DAV_VTXN_STUB_HEADER, SVN_DAV_VTXN_ROOT_STUB_HEADER,
   SVN_DAV_VTXN_NAME_HEADER): New.

* notes/http-and-webdav/http-protocol-v2.txt: Update.
