How Subversion handles parallel commits

Dear all,

can anyone help me on this: How does Subversion handle commits, that practically happen at the same time?
Are commits handled sequentially, like e.g.

Start-Commit c1
Pre-Commit c1
Post-Commit c1
Start-Commit c2
Pre-Commit c2
Post-Commit c2

Or is there a parallization between commits, e.g.

Start-Commit c1
Start-Commit c2
Pre-Commit c1
Pre-Commit c2
Post-Commit c1
Post-Commit c2

If the second applies, is there any restriction on how those commits can interleave? E.g. is the following technically possible

Start-Commit c1
Pre-Commit c1
Start-Commit c2
Pre-Commit c2
Post-Commit c2
Post-Commit c1

Thanks again for your support. Unfortunately I couldn't find information on this in the mailing list archives.

Greetings,
Alexander Merten
