git-svn: control destruction order to avoid segfault
It seems necessary to control destruction ordering to avoid a segfault with SVN 1.9.5 when using "git svn branch". I've also reported the problem against libsvn-perl to Debian [Bug #888791], but releasing the SVN::Client instance can be beneficial anyways to save memory. ref: https://bugs.debian.org/888791 Tested-by: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com> Reported-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
