I would be fine with this approach as well, but perhaps with a few tweaks:

 - I think that it would be better to handle all four capabilities that
   relate to proxied writes in the same place:

     SVN_DAV_NS_DAV_SVN_EPHEMERAL_TXNPROPS
     SVN_DAV_NS_DAV_SVN_SVNDIFF1
     SVN_DAV_NS_DAV_SVN_SVNDIFF2
     SVN_DAV_NS_DAV_SVN_PUT_RESULT_CHECKSUM

   Otherwise, the handling becomes asymmetric, as the first of them is still
   checked using the separate dav_svn__check_ephemeral_txnprops_support()
   function, but the three new capabilities are checked using the new array-
   based approach.

 - The SVN_DAV_NS_DAV_SVN_SVNDIFF1 capability should probably be
   bound to version 1.10 instead of 1.7.

   The reason for that is that mod_dav_svn didn't properly advertise
   svndiff1 support with this specific header until 1.10, and I think
   that we should have the same behavior for the setups with a write-
   through proxy.

   (Even though mod_dav_svn has been able to parse it for a long time,
    currently ra_serf avoids sending svndiff1 to servers that don't
    advertise it with this specific header, as there might be third-party
    implementations of the Subversion's HTTP protocol that can only
    parse svndiff0).

Thanks,
