I believe the problem was that SVN clients weren't doing depth:1 PROPFINDs -
that is a new change. Instead we were doing a PROPFIND for every file in a
directory - I think that exacerbated the leak in httpd as there is a
per-request leakage. And, I believe that some patches have gone in recently
to try to change how mod_dav_svn used pools to help solve *some* of the
problems.

Getting mod_dav to be streamy may be just as hard as getting the pool usage
right. =) But, perhaps not. Let me know if you need any help. -- justin
