Description

In a working copy, during a commit we copy (and detranslate) every file modified
by the commit to the .svn/tmp/ dir.  This might trigger inefficient filesystem
behaviour.  Investigate whether that is in fact the case, and if so rewrite the
commit process to be more efficient (perhaps use a sharded directory structure
for its tempfiles).

Discussed with gstein.
