I can't reproduce this myself. Since this happens in the middle of the
checkout (not explicitly mentioned in your mail but Ben showed me),
and the close_all_dirs function is only called at the very end, when
the full report has been parsed, this can be explained by a truncated
REPORT response.

Any truncated response should now result in an error from serf (since
serf trunk r1678). It's not clear to me if this error
SERF_ERROR_TRUNCATED_HTTP_RESPONSE was returned from serf but then
ignored in svn, or not returned at all. I'll look into that.

The proposed solution here is to report a decent error code and
message to the user when this sudden abort of the REPORT response
connection happens.
Attached patch does that, by checking for the error situation first,
before trying to close all directories. We then rely on pool cleanup
to handle mandatory closing actions.
