If this happens again, try the command line client again. But this time,
specify the path to the working copy as an absolute path! Don't just cd
into your working copy and do the switch from there. Subversion had/has
some problems with absolute paths - they don't show up normally with the
command line client so they don't notice the bug, but TSVN and most
other GUI clients use absolute paths...
