It's not really a bug because in fact TSVN does not re-scan the
folders: if all files are selected the commit is a recursive commit
(TSVN passes the top folder to the SVN libraries for committing).
If you deselect at least one versioned file, then TSVN will do a
non-recursive commit by supplying all checked files individually to
the SVN libraries. In that case, any files modified after the dialog
was opened will not be committed.

Maybe we need some kind of hint to indicate to the user that the
commit will be recursive or not. I don't know what form that hint
should take though.
