I don't know if that's possible with msi's.
But feel free to mess around with our WiX script - maybe you can get it
to do that.

Sure, this would be a great feature. Problem is: we either block both
explorer and the repobrowser while the data transfer is done, or we'd
have to implement IAsyncOperation. Something which I don't quite know
how to do right.
And since it's not possible to check out single file, it of course would
be the same as the "save as..." function.

Check the file autolist.txt in the TSVN installation bin folder.
There you'll see that this is done with regex strings.

(MULTILINE) .h, .hpp = ^\s*class\s*([\w_]+)|([\w_]+)\(
   regex file the regex string to extract the keywords
   over extension
   multiple to apply
   lines the regex

I've written a small tool to test regex strings and apply them to files.
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/files/documents/406/20668/RegExpTest.exe

Just enter your regex there and drag the file you want to test it with
on the dialog. Then you'll see which keywords are extracted and used for
autocompletion.
