I think we actually lost some pool usage Goodness in ra_dav when I
finished the editor conversion.  The new editors don't manage their
own pools, and the checkouts and updates in ra_dav were sufficiently
complex that when I converted the editor drivers there, I punted
temporarily on implementing pool management (got a note in my personal
TODO file on this).  

In other words, we lost what management was in the old editor
interface, and didn't add any management in the new editor drivers.
As far as I know, this only happened in ra_dav, but would affect any
operations that use checkout or update-ish codepaths (diff, status,
switch, ...)

It would rock if someone (Philip?) would file an issue on this,
perhaps even assigning it to me.
