Geez, you write prose well! Thanks.

And now a quibble:

You say

    Because TortoiseSVN runs as a Windows GUI application, it doesn't
    really have a concept of a "current working directory" like a
    command-line program does.

I don't think that's true -- _all_ processes have a current working
directory -- and I also suspect it's irrelevant; I think all that
matters is that (for whatever reason) TortoiseSVN always deals in
absolute paths.
