The first connection is to fetch the HEAD revision. Then the next
connection fetches the actual log.

Hmmm - I can't see that happening here. But maybe that's because I'm
using http instead of svn://. When I use a port connection tool to
check the open connections, there are sometimes two or three
connections listed, but only one of them is really 'open' - the others
are in state wait_close which means they're closed by the client and
wait for ack of the server.
Are you sure that those connections really are open? There was a
problem like that in earlier versions of TSVN, but now I'm using a
local pool for all Subversion commands which gets destroyed after each
command. And of course, the connection is closed when the local pool
gets destroyed.
