No, I don't, but I have a variation to propose.

Instead of accumulating the log in a single .svn/tmp/log write a
series of separate log files with distinct, ordered, names. As each
file is written it is moved from .svn/tmp to .svn but not run.
Finally have the code that runs the log file loop over all the log
files and sync the entries file once at the end. Now while writing
multiple log files is probably not quite as efficient as writing a
single log file, it should still be O(N) rather than O(N^2) since the
entries file only gets written once. I'm not quite sure what scheme
one would use to order the log files, perhaps simply choosing suitable
filenames and sorting the apr_dir_read output would do.
