Ah, ok. I agree with the above.

Oh. Good. Not sure if you're thinking of a specific suggestion or not...

So you think that the feature should be left out of the TSVN GUI
because the CL client supports it already, and power users should go
there to do the job? I don't know. I'd much prefer that TSVN also
support it. As it is right now, I can actually do all my work without
even resorting to the CL client. I like that.
