"someone impersonating the server" would mean that this "someone" would
have to hack your DNS server. And if that ever happens, you really have
other things to worry about than TortoisePlink.

But if you really want: the fixed TortoisePlink is on the website.
Download it from there and copy it in the TSVN installation folder.
