Good evening, Milen.

I don't think ANY of it is too much work. But, I am fighting a user
who is absolutely convinced that Subversion (and SmartSVN and
TortoiseSVN) are toys that no serious developer should use. Every
time I come across something that doesn't work exactly so, I get back
email telling me what a PITA it is and how we should all switch over
to Visual Source Safe.

<MAR>>>>>And TSVN remembers the already entered URLs, so you could
edit those when you checkout from other directories in the same
repository.<<<<<

The trouble with that is that the pulldown list that holds those past
URLs is only 68 characters in width and doesn't seem to be
expandable, so if the URL is longer than that, the rightmost
characters fall off the edge and I can't see them. So, if there are
several URLs that are the same in the first 68 characters, I can't
tell which is which.

I know, URLs shouldn't be that long. Nothing I can do about that...
