The case that was causing the problem was when dav_svn_insert_prop
calls dav_svn_getetag, since that causes temporary stuff to be
allocated out of the response pool rather than the subpool in
resource->info->pool. In this particular case, the return value of
dav_svn_getetag is copied into the response pool, so I think it's ok
here. I can't speak to the other cases until I find them :-)

Hmm, is the signature of dav_svn_getetag cast in stone?
