I don't think we're getting killed by anything, or that transactions
are ridiculously expensive. :-)

Yeah, we make heavy use of BDB transactions, and we make no attempt to
group operations into a single transaction. But I'm not thrilled
about the alternatives. With ra-dav opening and closing the database
once-per-operation (practically), we would have to expose the database
transaction layer through the libsvn_fs interface. I suppose we could
open a master transaction at svn_fs_open() time, and attach it to the
svn_fs_t * object, then register a pool cleanup function that closes
the environment.

But that's starting to look a little yucky, and I'm not sure how it
affects our movement into different database backends. Also, I'd like
to know if there are operations in the FS that depend on that
granularity.
