I looked at the get_repos. It's called repeated during atomic operations and
using it might change the semantics of how subversion operates. I'm not sure
how to integrate it into a massive exclusive lock at the beginning of
processing, since by the time the ra_local has been initialized, the
repository object exists already.

Maybe you could see where it would fit into the patch I'm including in the
email I cc'ed you on, that David started.

The thread title is "lock:// protocol hacked in"
