Bert solved the underlying problem in r1148588. However, I think that
we can iterate on that change to clarify pool usage, and clear a pool
(rather than create/destroy). e.g my suggestions above.
Note that Bert's change fixes all log usage: rather than just 'svn
merge', it also handles 'svn log' (dunno where else we fetch logs).
We figured to wait for your thoughts before another iteration.
