Let's not be too keen to add behaviour-changing flags in the public
APIs, as they make the APIs unwieldy and hard to read at the point of
use. For the purpose of implementing svn_client_commit4() as a wrapper,
a private implementation can take such a flag, but it need not be
exposed.

What is the compelling reason to want this? (This is just a drive-by
observation and question. I am not following this issue closely and
there might very well be a good reason; I'd just like to see it spelled
out.)
