Re: How to do a MoveMethod with locks

In answer to my own question, I discovered that the If: header seemed to 
be incorrect or at least
unacceptable to mod_dav/mod_svn. There are two forms of this header, one 
that includes the
URL of the request and one that does not. The rfc is unclear (at least 
to me) on which of these forms is required
for MOVE, but providing the URL made it work for me when the source file 
for the MOVE was locked. I've
attached a patch, that modifies WebdavResource to provide the longer 
form of the header.
