Well, 'svnadmin load' does a bunch of rapid commits in succession.
Do you care if other clients' commits happen in the middle, at random
points in time? Generally, you don't want that to happen, because
'svnadmin load' is usually run to reconstruct a repository. But
then, say, if you're loading a dumpfile into one area of the
repository, it's perfectly fine for client commits to happen in other
areas of the repository. It's up to you to decide.
