    As I recall, the "single-checkout" flag was to ensure a non-branching
    revision history.  If so, its semantics aren't quite right (i.e. preventing
    multiple checkouts from a revision does not ensure a non-branching
    revision history).  I propose we rename this property "DAV:linear"
    (or some such thing), put it on the versioned resource instead of the revision,
    and fix the semantics to do what was intended.
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff
