There is nothing to fix as this is simply a standard commit race bewteen
two users or processes. In this case CHECKOUT is an HTTP DAV method
that is part of a Subversion commit and the 409 error is the way the
server communicates that the client is out-of-date. The client getting
the 409 needs to update, possibly resolve conflicts, and retry the
commit.
