[TSVN] Dangerous warning / confirmation Dialog

From: Lübbe Onken <l.onken_at_rac.de>

Hi Folks,

If I try to commit a WC which resides on tags, I get the following warning:

---SNIP---
"Your working copy appears to be on a tag path!\n"
"You should first switch to a branch or the main trunk before committing."
[OK] [Cancel]
---SNIP---

This is good, but the Dialog telling me this has got an "OK" and a "Cancel"
button with "OK" being the default. I smell danger here, because the warning
is "OK" -> I got it -> I have to switch first -> so I hit "OK". (I almost
did, before I noticed that I really wanted to cancel the operation)

I think we should change this to read:

---SNIP---
"Your working copy appears to be on a tag path!\n"
"You should first switch to a branch or the main trunk before committing."\n
\n
"Do you want to commit anyway?"
[Yes] [No]
---SNIP---

With "No" being the default. This way we got a clear message, a clear
question and a clear selection for the user.

Cheers
- Lübbe
