Thanks for the clarification, Bert. It sounds like the various commit
editors (libsvn_ra's and libsvn_repos's, at least) should document that
they do verify checksums --- I didn't check whether they already
document that --- and the svn_delta_editor_t docs should be updated to
state that the leeway for receivers not to verify checksums is deprecated.
