weak etags & subversion?

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a collaborative authoring
environment that uses apache webdav + subversion
with auto-versioning on the server.

Client-side, my users will have a variety of clients
(Winie, Web Commander, mozile) that check for ETag
match before doing a PUT as described here:

  http://www.w3.org/1999/04/Editing/

In my experiments so far, it doesn't appear that
apache + subversion will generate a weak ETag. If
I remove svn and just use the filesystem, apache
generates the expected ETags.

Excerpt from httpd.conf:

     <Location /p3>
       FileETag MTime Size
        (some stuff deleted...)
     </Location>

So, I'm wondering if the apache ETag code simply
doesn't play with alternate repositories -- ie,
the calls to get modification time and size are
not abstracted... Or, are there changes that
could be made to subversion to generate the
requested ETags? I dug through some of the
apache code, but couldn't locate the ETag stuff.

I'm assuming that if the latter is the case,
it'll probably be a post 1.0 thing -- unless it's
a very easy fix.

Thanks for any info/pointers.

--EJ
