Oh, I'm not faulting your suggestion - it may actually be the only
solution. I'm just proclaiming that to be a flaw with the DAV protocol,
if that is the case. Personally, I'm intending to start work on a
slightly heavier-weight server using XMLRPC that will actually handle
sending out commit emails, tagging versions, etc. We aren't convinced
at work that a DAV server will scale to meet our needs (not that it
shouldn't exist - just that it won't be the only option).
