It means:
I already added a function which provides additional hints to an error
message in our development HEAD revision.

The "tools" folder isn't in the repo anymore because people kept
complaining that they couldn't check out TSVN anymore because it got too
big (not that anyone of those complaining _ever_ sent in a patch or
helped out otherwise though). So you can now download the whole tools
folder as one "big" zipfile from here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/files/documents/406/11147/Tools.zip
(located in our project files folder here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=616)

You can. Just relocate your working copy.

I know. Fixed already in HEAD.
