That's because TSVN keeps the information itself too, not just in the
list control.

I'd say so, yes.

That's won't help.
I've changed the code now so that the dialog is not created on the
worker thread anymore. It should work correctly now.

Not there, but I *think* there was another thread where it lead to a fix.
Just to make sure: you should report it on the Subversion mailing list
too so they can find the reason for this and investigate some more.

Yes.
