Sorry, I'm just catching up on my mail from FOSDEM this past weekend.
I had come to the same conclusion as Greg that I might as well just
commit it with Tom's "pg_flush_data()" name and we can decide later if
and when we have pg_fsync_start()/pg_fsync_finish() whether it's worth
keeping two apis or not.
So I was just going to commit it like that but I discovered last week
that I don't have cvs write access set up yet. I'll commit it as soon
as I generate a new ssh key and Dave installs it, etc. I intentionally
picked a small simple patch that nobody was waiting on because I knew
there was a risk of delays like this and the paperwork. I'm nearly
there.
