The C API manages lifetime of various resources — primarily memory, but
also file handles — via the apr_pool_t abstraction. Nearly every API
function takes at least one pool parameter.

Given that you mentioned closing the TortoiseSVN window is a valid
workaround for that version of the issue, I guess the file handle would
be closed once the pools passed to the checkout API are
cleared/destroyed, without requiring the process to be exited or
low-level system calls to be resorted to.

However, I don't know what the SharpSvn equivalent of
clearing/destroying a pool or destroying a client context is. That'd
be a question for the SharpSvn maintainers. (SharpSvn is a third party
project, not part of the core Subversion project.)

Cheers,

Daniel
