The only thing I could think of was possibly rollback would leave open
transaction and its read view if you are running in REPEATABLE READ
isolation mode, whereas commit begins a new transaction and discards the
read view. But I just tested that, and both commands start a new
transaction and discard the read view.
That's a long way of saying they are functionally equivalent as far as I
know, as long as there are no changes to discard.
