So, we had a big discussion of this issue in the past, and I thought we
came up with a proper solution, where destroying the cache pool would
cleanly close the environments, and subsequent destruction of the FS
object pools would do nothing. If we didn't, then Branko must have
messed up, and I don't think the fix is to force the pool destruction
order in svnserve or any other program.
