[TSVN] Problems when working directory is a base drive letter

From: Ben Muzal <bmuzal_at_gmail.com>

For work, we use a software compiler package that requires using full
path names in the settings files. So to be able to let everyone use
the same settings file and not require everyone to use the same
directory structure, we use a feature of windows NT/2000/XP that
allows us to map a directory to a drive letter. For example:
C:\documents\myPath\projectDir\ would be mapped to s:\ using the
'subst' command.

This causes 2 problems with TortoisSVN:
1)When committing from S: the commit dialog does not show the first
letters of changed files. -- See the attached image. the files should
be shown as "Shortcut to sreg.bat.ink" and "sreg.bat"

2)Windows maps the recycle bin into the drive (s:\RECYCLER) which is
typically hidden (and forgotten about). This causes the recycle bin
to be added to version control on new imports from the s: drive. While
I understand that the workaround is trivial with a few extra clicks,
would it be feasible to ignore the \RECYCLER directory by default?

--Thanks
