It's a little worse than that actually (depending on the OS version).
If we define e.g. &Checkout and then the user switches to german, the
'C' will be active even though the menu now has &Auschecken. At least,
until you reboot.

Also, when we first *had* those shortcuts, many users complained that
their default shortcuts were now suddenly used twice (and I remember
some very nasty insults in my direction from some of those people).

So you see: if I implement the shortcuts, I get slammed from those who
don't like shortcuts doubled (something which we can't avoid 100%). If I
don't, you guys complain.

(The song I'm listening to right now may be the most fitting to this
situation ;) "EAV - Leckt's mi do am oarsch"

Ick! "Working copy"??
I can also check out a working copy, update, revert, ....
Almost *everything* in TSVN is working copy related.

And again 12 entries...

"Diff" would also be an information.

Just FYI: such a change is not done right away. This requires a big
change to how the shell extension now handles the context menu.
