Subversion is leaking RA connections (TCP connections) for each
svn:external referenced during a checkout/update. This patch fixes
that by using the iter_pool in the loop instead of the global pool
which is only cleaned up at process exit. With this applied, an svn
update with thousands of externals no longer keeps thousands of TCP
connections in the CLOSE_WAIT state on the client and FIN_WAIT_2 state
on the server.
This problem causes Windows XP SP3 to appear to lock up, the svn
update to fail, and typically disconnects current network connections
when Subversion uses more than around 500 connections. Linux appears
to successfully complete the update, but uses a large amount of
resources. (netstat -t | grep CLOSE_WAIT | wc -l)
This is a simple patch, so I am attaching it inline. I believe it
should be back ported to the 1.6.x release since that is where I
observed the problem.
