I do agree that the delete-on-failed-PUT behaviour is a bug, at least in the
case of modifying an existing file.  Perhaps it is useful for the case where the
resource did not exist before.

To completely avoid concurrency problems like this mod_dav_fs would also have to
lock the file.  That should be relatively simple to do but needs further analysis.

w.r.t. doing a the stat()-after-PUT; that would not eliminate the race; another
process could still modify the file after the stat() and the returned status
code would be "wrong" again
