[enhance]: reduce menu clutter, tsvn only active in specified folders

Dear TortoiseSVN,

  While there are a few windows based svn clients out there the only
one of any consideration in my opinion is TortoiseSVN . It is under
active development, is well supported, comprehensively covers the base
svn features, has good documentation and a usable interface. The only
significant thing I've found to dislike so far is the additional
right-menu clutter. It would be much better if one could restrict the
svn-specific file icons and menus to certain folders on your hard
drive. For example the *only* files on my computer which are in SVN
are in D:\Src. It would be much nicer to only see TSVN when I'm
browsing directories in that tree. This would be especially useful for
part-time developers. There are people in some of my workgroups who
will only edit certain key files a few times a year. It is important
that those edits be under revision control but they don't want to see
menu items in their face the other 98% of the time when they're not
needed, and therefore are reluctant to install tsvn. I don't blame
them, I hate being bombarded with seldom used menus too. ;)

 Thank you for taking the time to consider this idea.
