Is this thin wrapper around svn_error_has_cause() really worth having?

Here you could call svn_error_has_cause() directly:

             if (be_atomic && err &&
                 svn_error_has_cause(err, SVN_ERR_FS_PROP_BASEVALUE_MISMATCH))

At this point we're racing with other svnsync instances that don't support
proper locking and can corrupt the sync meta data anyway at any time.
I think we can safely assume that users upgrade all their writing svnsync
instances at once. And the server supports atomic revprop edits, so it's
already been upgraded. Is more looping really worth it?
We're essentially doing SVNSYNC_LOCK_RETRIES times more work than necessary.

I'm very glad that this branch is virtually finished now :)
