There is one line per log cache, hence per UUID.
The repository cached in the first line has been
available through different URLs.

Please note that https://my.server.com/svn/Project2
and https://my.server.com/svn/Project1 are two
different repositories on the same server - at least
according to what the screen shot says.

URLs will be compared strictly, i.e. the following
changes result in those "multiple URLs":

* HTTP -> HTTPS etc.
* server / repository rename
* copied repository

A workaround is to manually delete URL -> UUID mapping
%APP_DATA%\TortoiseSVN\logcache\repositories.dat .
It will be re-populated automatically without losing
the actual caches.

Maybe, there is a bug - I fixed something similar the
before 1.5.0 release: If you select the first line and
click on "Delete", this line should be removed from
the list even if there were multiple URLs mapping to it.

As for the general "is this cache valid" problem, I
have some ideas how to detect the usage of the same UUID
for different repositories. If the heuristics detect an
inconsistency, the cache would be cleared.

Furthermore, it should also be possible to optionally
support cache selection by URL only. The combination of
both extensions should fix most of the caching woes we
keep seeing on the list.
