Ah - it's moot, then. Does the user get a message saying why what he might
have expected to happen, didn't?

The app could be defined by the settings recorded in the same sort of
dialogue that is invoked by the "advanced..." buttons on each of the
settings in the diff/merge options dialog.
Additionally, it's common for slow-loading apps to have a splash-screen -
thus the user is at least not left wondering if TSVN is being slow - he can
see it's the IDE or whatever. Usually.
I'm not really advocating this change; it's a bit of a rare edge case to
cater for...
