RE: [TSVN] suggestion: repo-browser dialog starts empty,but it ought to be initialized with file-path to selected file repository

Thanks for including this "URL-populate on right-click" feature. I look
forward to using it when installs are ready. I tend to be using local
repositories so it will be handy to me.

As of revision 3536, if you right-click on a local repository, the
repobrowser directly browses that repo. No need to first enter that URL
anymore.

TSVN ignores shortcuts completely. We once (very, very early in the
project) also used shortcuts and showed the context menu for them. But
that turned out to be a nightmare (users wanted to have the shortcuts
versioned too, and that's not possible if you follow the shortcuts).
But, you can create a shortcut to TortoiseProc.exe for each repository
you browse often, and just add '/command:repobrowser
/path:"url/to/repository" /notempfile' to the shortcut command line (I'm

having three such shortcuts on my desktop too...)
