Well, and since we use fork() (for the relevant cases), the pool is copied
before svn_io_start_cmd returns. Gah!

So, your solution seems the bestin the end. It will make the error message
available only if an errfile was passed, but that's completely reasonable.

So, now the circle is back at your first message asking why not to use the
errfile, and my answer is: that's a good idea. :-)
