The libsvn_client interface creates a new connection for each operation.
If you need complete control over connection management, you'll have to
use libsvn_ra.

"Unbounded" in this context is anything where the number of iterations
depends on some condition that is not known at compile-time. If the
number of iterations is constant, that's not unbounded. If it depends,
for example, on the number of modified files in a working copy, then it
is "unbounded" since you cannot predict an upper bound on the number of
iterations and, as a consequence, on the associated resource usage.
