To avoid running such script, you should now set the autoprops in the
config file. Otherwise you'll have to run that script again really
soon ;)

Was the progress dialog already up? Or was still the dialog shown
where you select the files for commit?
Did you select *all* the files shown there or did you exclude some of
them from the commit?

That seems to indicate the memory growth is happening in the progress
dialog. In that case, it's a leak in Subversion, not TSVN.
If you can, please try the CL client. If the memory grows there too,
please report it on the Subversion mailing list.
