TortoiseSVN does not provide return codes at all. It's not a command
line client and is not supposed to be used in a batch file or something
like that.
The way TSVN is built, it will _always_ return an "error" because once a
command is finished, it has to return FALSE to make MFC _not_ start the
default message loop - there just isn't a main window around but many,
many different dialogs.

You should use the Subversion command line client for such tasks.
