Just piping in on this one point. POST is perfectly acceptable here,
and is not in conflict with the DAV spec in the least. Just because we
add a new route for locking/unlocked multiple paths (via POST) doesn't
mean we'll stop supporting the DAV LOCK/UNLOCK one-path-at-a-time route.
That's all the compatibility -- with old Subversion clients and generic
WebDAV clients alike -- that we need to fuss with.
