Hi Michael,
Are you sure the limit is in Windows and not in some kind of firewall
product?
I know that ISA server imposes some of these limits and probably many other
firewalls and maybe even routers do. (I had to lift those rules before we
introduced a batch processing webrequest in one of our products at work).
I can't imagine a case where executing 4000 svn_client_* function calls
would really make sense.
Most commands I would repeat allow multiple targets in 1.5. (But I know some
of those are implemented as a top level loop over the parameter, so this
wouldn't really help in this case.. But without those variants there is not
much that can change as the client api doesn't keep connections open over
different function calls).
(Maybe you should look at the lower level c-APIs to take advantage of a
reusable session for your specific use case)

DONT_LINGER is the default setting if I read the winsock documentation
correctly and REUSEADDR is only valid on incoming connections (which the
client has none).
So, unless your question applies to the server side I think neither of those
settings apply?
