Hmm... probably.  Though I'm not 100% convinced that it's perfect.  We
still get the occasional mismatch after a shutdown - things that were
committed enough and yet didn't get synclogged.  I'm very tempted to
add some sort of pre-log to the sync system.  It would be a bit of a
pain, but it would avoid all the shutdown issues, and it would give us
a list of things to clean up on startup as well!

In particular I'm thinking things like where an email file was created
on disk and moved into the directory, but the append never finished.
There's a spare file that will be found by a reconstruct even though it
was never technically _delivered_.
