Or you can close the wc context with svn_wc_context_destroy(). This closes
all contexts at once.
(Clearing the pool with svn_client_ctx_t / svn_wc_context_t has the same
effect).
Answering Mark's question:
In SharpSvn I added a boolean on the SvnClient. With the boolean set to
false (the default) I create a new svn_wc_context_t for every command
invocation and clear the pool containing that temporary context when the
command is done. (svn_client_ctx_t lives much longer to cache passwords,
etc.)
This keeps everything compatible with the old version and users that need
the extra performance can switch the boolean.
In AnkhSVN with this per command closing of the database 1.7 is still much
faster than 1.6, so I haven't even looked at cases where I want to keep the
db open.
