My concern would be that it can be read two ways:
1. When you commit, sync (something or other - unspecified)
2. Synchronise commits (to each other? to something else?)*

It's obvious to people on the -hackers list what we're talking about, 
but is it so clear to a newbie, perhaps non-English speaker?

* I can see people thinking this means something like "commit_delay".
