As the FAQ says: a process which opens the repository needs to close it
correctly as well. If the process crashes or is forcibly killed, then
the repository is never closed correctly and is left in an inconsistent
state, needing recovery. Running 'apachectl stop', however, does not
"kill" httpd processes: it simply sends them signals meaning,
"terminate yourself when you're done processing your current request."
So it's perfectly safe.
