Creating local repositories is what this command was intended for. It
might well work on a network share, but I have never tried it. It
definitely won't work if you are accessing the repository through
http:// or svn://. You have to do it on the server then.

Setting auto-props only affects files which are added to the repository.
Files already in there will not be affected. You need to set the
svn:eol-style property on every text file in the repository to native.

You can commit multiple projects at once only if they are in the same
repository. If they are in different repositories you have to commit
separately. That is a feature of Subversion, not TSVN. If projects are
closely related and you want them committed together in one atomic
operation, you should put them in the same repository.

Of course, if they are already in the same repo and they have a common
parent, you can just commit the parent folder. TSVN shows you a list of
changed files and folders and lets you select what to include in the
commit.

No. TortoiseMerge has no editing features, and we don't plan to add any.
We recommend you use a 3rd party tool (like WinMerge :-)

Yes, it is already implemented in v1.2.0 which will be released later
today.
