James Antill f22fa92aef Add --disable-fsync option to both commit and pull (non-local)
On some storage configurations, fsync() can be extremely expensive.
Developers and users with slow hard drives may want the ability to opt
for speed over safety.

Furthermore, many production servers have UPS and stable kernels, and
the risk of not fsync'ing in that scenario is fairly low.  These users
should also be able to opt out.

README.md

OSTree is a tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned filesystem trees. While it takes over some of the roles of tradtional "package managers" like dpkg and rpm, it is not a package system; nor is it a tool for managing full disk images. Instead, it sits between those levels, offering a blend of the advantages (and disadvantages) of both.
