I tried this with for the functions svn_client_status4(), svn_client_update4() and svn_client_checkout3(), but I guess the problem is not specific to one or some functions. When examining the sockets in TCPView they are generally listed as 'established', some however even pop out of their host process and live on in the system process (PID:0) as 'waiting' for some time. When closing down the application the remaining connections also go the latter way. This behaviour results in hundreds of open connections (e.g. when checking the status of all files of a project) which is more than the server can/should handle.

Hi Jörn,

have you tried clearing (with svn_pool_clear()) or even destroying (with
svn_pool_destroy()) pools passed to the svn_client_* functions? That should
close sockets and also free other resource (temporary allocations, file
descriptors, etc.). You can clear a scratch_pool right after each call,
and a result_pool (if any) once you don't need the results anymore.
