A commit is started by right-clicking on selected files/folders in the
explorer, then choosing 'commit' from the context menu. TSVN uses those
selected files/folders as starting points. From there, we crawl upwards
to find the properties. So if a user selects the wc root folder for
commit, the properties are only looked for on that folder, even if the
files to commit are located deep below that folder.
I know it's not the ideal way. But most people have a whole project
checked out and set the properties for the whole project. If properties
are set differently for sub projects, then they have to commit from
those sub project folders and not from the wc root folder.
