When Subversion throws an 'out of date' error, TSVN then add the "you
have to update your working copy first" because that's *usually* the
thing to do.

Can't be done (well, it _could_, but...). Reason: TSVN would have to
execute several 'svn_client_mkdir()' calls, which would lead in a new
revision for every intermediate folder. That's definitely not
something you want!

Also, see

The 'normal' textbox we use does that. But there's something wrong
with the textbox in the repobrowser. I haven't had the time to look at
it yet, but I will soon.
