I ran into this too ; but I found one of the practices I've been using
with Subversion / TortoiseSVN got around this for me.
I've been using "view" folders to aggregate working copies of associated
projects that have their own trunk / branches / tags hierarchy, where I
obviously don't want a working copy of the whole tree.
So my repos looks a bit like this..
/lib
/project
/bar
/trunk
/[files]
/branches
/tags
/foo
/trunk
/[files]
/branches
/gob
/trunk
/[files]
/branches
/tags
/views
/foobar
/trunk
The folder /views/foobar/trunk is an empty folder with the svn:externals
property set to
foo svn://repos/project/foo/trunk
bar svn://repos/project/bar/trunk
Now if I check /views/foobar/trunk out to d:\src\foobar, I get a working
copy of both trunks as subfolders. The happy side-effect is that I can
view the contents of d:\src\foobar, select the subfolders foo and bar,
perform an SVN Commit via the TortoiseSVN context menu, and because
d:\src\foobar *IS* a working copy, it commits all the changes into the
same revision without complaint.
In addition, you can recreate your work folder elsewhere with minimum
hassle. I've taken to putting .VBG files in the view folder to group VB6
projects into the same IDE session too.
When I ran into this problem, it was checking in working copies of two
projects at once in my master source folder (d:\src), which is NOT a
working copy. I was able to create a view folder, check it out, set the
svn:externals property, move the existing working copies into the new
view folder, and commit my changes without a hitch.
I hope this is helpful.
