Confirmed. Thanks for explaining that.

That will be OK for the command-line client, but if I were writing a
long-lived client, how would I go about closing those db files after
doing all I needed to do for the time being in a particular WC?

Specifically, I'm thinking, could I try putting such a "close" into the
loop over all targets in svn_client_update3() and see if it works?
