couldn't i also use the subpool for the svn_wc_entry, apr_stat, and
apr_dir_make? i mean there's no reason to put the allocation in the
parent's pool for those if we don't need them to stick around... the
only things that need to persist through the loop are the dirents and
the apr_hash_index_t, so couldn't i get away with using the parent
pool for svn_io_get_dirents and apr_hash_first, and using the subpool
for everything else, clearing it each time through the loop?

makes sense.

thanks for the review,
