I just found a possible reason for this:
if files get renamed case-only (e.g. file.txt to File.txt), then TSVN
tries to adjust the case again (to avoid having duplicate entries in
the repository, since Subversion is case-sensitive). By adjusting the
filenames, you won't notice why TSVN shows the status 'missing' for
those files - when you check that the case has already been adjusted.
But of course, the status-fetching is done before adjusting/correcting
the case, so those files will show up as 'missing' in the commit (or
other) dialogs.
I've now changed TSVN so that it fetches the status again after
adjusting the case of file/foldernames. That gets rid of bogus
'missing' status entries.
Not sure if that's really the reason for what you reported here - you
can try the next release (due tomorrow) which will have this fix in
it. If the problem persists, please report it again.
