DavGenericLockDB scope - what should it be?

Hi all,

According to the docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dav_lock.html#davgenericlockdb the scope of the DavGenericLockDB is "server config, virtual host, directory".

According to the source, the scope is "inside Directory or Location" as follows:

    AP_INIT_TAKE1("DAVGenericLockDB", dav_lock_cmd_davlockdb, NULL, ACCESS_CONF,
                  "specify a lock database"),

Can anyone confirm which one is supposed to be correct?

Regards,
Graham

Answering myself. Later version of mod_dav_svn have their own locking implemented.

For me the directive seems to work on server level as well (at least I get no error
on startup when using it on server level), but I don't know if the locking is really (still)
used by Subversion (mod_dav_svn) as I see no lock DB created.

The docs are correct. There shouldn't be any real problem with a
server-wide database.
