Both 1.7 and 1.8 allow concurrent updates but the update targets have to
be a bit further apart than 1.6. Given a working copy layout:

   wc/
   wc/A/
   wc/A/B/
   wc/X/
   wc/X/Y/

With 1.6

  svn up wc/A/B

locks the whole tree for the explict target wc/A/B plus a lock on the
parent directory wc/A, while 1.8 locks the whole tree for the parent
wc/A. The result is that both 1.6 and 1.8 allow

  svn up wc/A/B
  svn up wc/X/Y

in parallel, but only 1.6 allows

  svn up wc/A
  svn up wc/X/Y

in parallel, and neither allows

  svn up wc/A
  svn up wc/X

in parallel.
