No log message.

The repository administrator can achive the same thing by setting
DB_TXN_NOSYNC in the DB_CONFIG file. Your change makes it more
convenient but I'm not sure that's enough to put this BDB specific
flag in the libsvn_repos interface. How well does your change work if
another process, one not using DB_TXN_NOSYNC, is accessing the
database at the same time?
