Looks great!
About the location of TortoiseProc: there's a registry key
HKLM\Software\TortoiseSVN\Directory
which points to the installation dir of TSVN. We use that key for the
language pack installer ;)

The reason for this is that up until now, those commands were always
started from a working copy - I've just never thought that someone would
want to start those from an URL.

Not just that checkbox: The label on top of the dialog needs to be
changed too, and the third radiobutton "Create copy in the repository
from 'Working copy'" needs to be disabled too.

As above: the rename was done on working copies only until now.

I've already fixed delete/export/branchtag, currently working on the
rename. But since the repo is still down, i can't commit the changes :(
