I'm not sure why this would be windows specific. Yes, Linux lets us
move the dir with the handle open but I think it would be an error for
the Subversion client to use the handle after the move.

Is this the best way to do it? It isn't what I was expecting. I was
expecting the checkout code to explicitly close the handles it was
responsible for opening. Then the copy code would not have to do
anything special.
