Hi, The point of this small patch is to allow mod_dav to take an easy out instead of actually going through the (expensive) delivery step, in case of a conditional request. Think of cache validating requests for instance.
I found this interesting because of the potential of serving content straight from a SVN repository, while retaining near static content performance*. That is, with mod_cache enabled. *) Ofcourse opening the repository on each connection is a penalty, but hey, that needs addressing elsewhere. Makes sense?
