A commit creates a transaction tree, compares it to the Head revision
tree (looking for any out-of-dateness conflicts), then declares the
transaction to be the new Head revision.

An update creates a transaction tree, then compares it to some
revision tree, then tosses the transaction.

Therefore, an update can't possibly interfere with a commit. The only
thing that might "hold up" a commit is if two commit-transactions
both attempt to become the new Head revision at exactly the same
time. One will get there first, and the other will have to re-try.
