Ok.
Have a look at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/list_etiquette.html
There you can find information about the mailing list and also links to
the mailing list archives which you can use if you're not subscribed to
the list.

If you used the "switch" command, then you have a working copy now which
isn't 'clean', i.e. a so called 'nested layout'. If possible, you should
avoid such nested layouts. Instead of switching, you should merge the
changes from those branches and just have your working copy point to trunk.

That's the URL from the WC (as the label above the URL indicates). This
is just an information for you since you _know_ the WC path already (you
clicked on that to bring up the dialog).
The branch/tag command will still use your working copy.
(the label tells you "From _WC_ at URL:")
