For those who are forking+execing, there is considerably more code to
deltify.

Well, it does in a sense. Just pass 'none' as the deltify_how
argument to the commit, then do whatever you want after the commit is
complete and the caller answered.

But I had forgotten that actually backgrounding might not be
necessary, and my API is not ideal for what you describe, especially
considering your point that mod_dav_svn might be able to do the same
thing:

Sleeping on it now, watch for more tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback,
