Used to be that BDB would take the BASE from the reporter as the BASE
for the commit txn, and only change it in the rebase phase of the
commit; whereas fsfs uses the current HEAD. Don't know if anyone ever
changed that in BDB.
In general it shouldn't matter which BASE the commit txn begins with;
but if it's HEAD, we can bail out earlier in the presence of certain
kinds of conflicts.
