Re: [PATCH] JavaHL: Explicitly pass jobject jthis when processing dispose() call rather than stashing a reference in the SVNBase class where it can be missused later

The reason they are long lived is because they are reusable. E.g. directory
can be used for any number of files/directories within it. However,
regarding not needing to keep track of objects I think I see where you
are coming from. At the moment the parent and child objects are tied
because I allocated child pools from parent pools therefore their order of
cleanup is important. The reason for that design was that I could free up
child resources when the parent was disposed even if the children were not.
But of the top of my head I cannot see why it has to be this way. For
example child object pools can be allocated from the global JNI pool
instead thus eliminating the need to track children. Code will be simpler
but the JavaHL users won't be as protected from themselves.

I need to dig through the code and think about it some more,
