Well, I'd prefer we were able to fix it internally rather than
introduce a user-driven workaround for a problem the user shouldn't be
expected to understand.

Maybe just turn off the check for webdav if it's going to be a
persistent problem.

Or webdav could add a sleep delay to let the server catch up?  Or
maybe there's a protocol way of waiting for confirmation that the file
is there?
