I'm now thinking of putting the retry in svn_io_file_lock2() instead

Should retry be conditional on a threaded build? Can this problem even
occur in a non-threaded build?
Good point. I think with svn's code, no, it wouldn't happen in a
non-threaded build because the process does nothing else when it has the
lock, it'll only ever have one lock out at a time.
I was also going to have the code only retry if EDEADLK is defined, so
it wouldn't retry on win32. The #ifdef EDEADLK could also include
defined(APR_HAS_THREADS).
