It's simply the way it libsvn_client/commit.c:import_dir works on
Linux. The algorithm is

   import_dir
      apr_dir_open
      for each entry
         if it's a directory
            import_dir
      apr_dir_close
      
so lots of directories are open simultaneously and on Linux each open
directory corresponds to a file descriptor. If Windows works the same
way but has a much lower limit on filehandles then it will restrict
the depth of tree that can be imported. I suppose we could rewrite
the algorithm

   import_dir
      apr_dir_open
      for each entry
         if it's a directory
            add to subdir list
      apr_dir_close
      for each entry in subdir list
         import_dir
