The commit runs as a transaction on the server-side, where all the real
locking occurs.  SVN supports user-side locking (svn lock), but it is
only advisory and can be taken/unlocked by other users
(svn lock/unlock --force).

When SVN::Git::Editor is instantiated in commit_diff() (line 853), the
'r' parameter passed to it is the revision we'll generate our diffs
against.  Before, we were generating diffs against the latest revision.

We generate diffs against 'r' in SVN::Git::Editor::M() (line 3339) and
SVN::Git::Editor::chg_file (line 3383) passing the $fbat baton object
(which represents the file at revision 'r') around.
