Well, calling replace_root and then close_directory should be a no-op.
So for the svn_delta_edit_fns_t interface, it's a question of
efficiency, not correctness.

`cvs commit -f' is a separate issue. You get a new filesystem version
if and only if you call svn_fs_commit_txn. It doesn't matter how much
or little editing you do.
