No, it isn't. Here's why:
When you uninstall TSVN, it does not remove the SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK env
variable. It must not do that, because there's no way to tell if other
apps (other Subversion clients) still need/use that env variable. Just
because you uninstall one Subversion client doesn't mean you want to
change the way the others you might have installed will work.
So in short: you must remove the env variable manually by yourself.
Then, and only then will TSVN (and any other recent Subversion client)
use the .svn folders again.
