------------------------------
$ svnadmin help createtxn
createtxn: usage: svnadmin createtxn REPOS_PATH -r REVISION
 
Create a new transaction based on REVISION.
------------------------------

It's just a writable tree, a copy of a revision. It's the same thing
that happens when you begin a commit. The only way to change it is
via svn_fs.h -- there are no 'svnadmin' commands to manipulate it.

Honestly, I don't think there's a reason for this subcommand to exist
anymore. We originally invented it as a way of testing 'svnadmin rmtxns'.

It's not like we're about to convert 'svnadmin' into a long-lived
transaction workflow system. I vote to remove the subcommand.
