Even just a comment that sometimes commit() can raise errors
and that application-specific re-try logic should be used could be
helpful.

Will do.

In my application's case, the rapid bursts happened due to near
simultaneous requests
from the browser for static files and also due to near simultaneous ajax
requests.
As an optimization, I've configured Apache to handle the static media
urls. However,
a fast succession of ajax requests can be problematic and the only way I
can handle that is
by re-trying to commit.
