That's not quite right. Even 'svn commit' will give you the same error
message if you do an 'svn commit -N' (non-recursive commit).
If you don't want to have that error message, simply don't uncheck any
files/folders shown in the commit dialog - then TSVN will do a recursive
commit too and it will work as you want. But as soon as you deselect one
or more items from the commit dialog, TSVN *has* to do a non-recursive
commit, and then it will fail in that case.
