Running tests over svn://, without running svnserve?

Hi,

I'm confused: with win-tests.py, is it necessary to start svnserve
yourself, before running the tests with --url=svn://localhost; or does
win-tests.py take care of starting and stopping svnserve itself?

I just started running the testsuite with --url=svn://localhost. But
first I started svnserve (in another command window), as is explained
in tests/cmdline/README. Then, just for kicks, I decided to kill the
running svnserve process. However, to my amazement, the testsuite just
kept running, and ran all the way to completion without any test
failure.
