Okay, with help from Stefan, took the patch for a quick drive.

My observetions:

* Without the patch, the TCP SSH connection closes with RST.

* With the patch, it closes with double-ended FIN.

* I don't see any leftover processes on the windows client side.

* I tested both with svn+ssh:// and with the two svn+custom:// schemes
  that I use regularly.

* I see leftover processes on the server side only when the script that
  my ssh tunnel runs (on the server) doesn't pass "-q 0" to /bin/nc.
  (On Ubuntu that's the "quit N seconds after EOF on stdin" flag.)

* For testing I used the svn client (fresh trunk) and putty/plink 0.60.
  I didn't test connection pooling because I didn't find the putty
  equivalent of openssh's ControlMaster option.

Bottom line: +0 because FIN is better than RST, I don't see any
ill effects, and there is no previous report of zombies on windows
(per Stefan's last mail).
