Yay, a patch!

That's probably best, it confuses the two max_idle_time subroutines
that used to be in the codebase ;-)

I've just got rid of one in ClientHTTPBase.pm which is now the
persist_client_timeout option in subversion (that defaults to 30
seconds) and is a timeout in seconds for keep-alives to the end user.

The other one is in Socket.pm: the default is for sockets to never
time out (0). Is this what you are interested in, or does the new
persist_client_timeout configuration option good enough for you?
