I'm sure that there are others besides me that wonder about the
intricacies of this magical half-functioning edit box. That said,
another option remains. Drop the "Export" menu item completely from
the TSVN right-click menu, and teach people to use the Explorer
"select-files-drag-them-somewhere-click-export" way of doing things.
I would've preferred to be told to do things that way than to spend
hours trying to figure out how the broken export dialog works....
Just an option, it would unclutter the TSVN context menu a bit also by
removing one item.
