I considered this, but the FS code checks not only the lock tokens, but also
that they match their registered owners. The problem is that it checks
against but a single owner -- the authenticated username associated with the
committing process.

Alternatively, I've considered a mod_dav_svn directive (say,
"SVNDisableTxnLockCheck on") which could be set on the slave to indicate
that when the slave calls svn_fs_begin_txn2(), it does so without the
SVN_FS_TXN_CHECK_LOCKS flag, effectively disabling on-the-fly lock checks.
I'm not sure if that's sufficient to disable *all* lock checks, though.
Haven't gotten that deeply into the code yet.
