It's the repository UUID. The error message gives the repository UUID
because there's no reason for the client to know the repository's disk
path on the server.

It appears in `svn auth` output because svnserve uses the UUID as the
realm string when no realm is specified in svnserve.conf.

Changing the realm string would invalidate client's cached credentials
to that repository URL, since the cache is keyed on the "<$URL> $REALM"
string, as shown by `svn auth`.

As mentioned, have clients supply this information in the lock message.
You can enforce that with a pre-lock hook.
