I don't necessarily agree with this, incidentally. The right fix may be
to determine when mod_dav_svn isn't properly aborting a commit on a
write failure and to fix that. Alternatively, if it's desired to make
FSFS more resilient against malfunctioning callers, the right fix may be
to mark transactions as dead when write errors occur, and refuse to
complete them.

(This is assuming the problem really is bad logic in mod_dav_svn. We
don't have a complete understanding of what's going wrong in these
corruption cases because we can't reproduce them.)
