AtomicCommits just means that you'll either get all of the commit, or none
of it.  Commits in CVS already atomic at the file level - you can't get
corruption by having a power failure, for example, however you might get
something half committed.

It's not the most tested code in the world, but it seems to work a lot of
the time. 2.2.x will use a different method.
