The name of the top folder of your working copy has nothing to do with
the repository. You can for example check out the TSVN sourcecode from
/trunk and *not* name it trunk but e.g. TortoiseSVN.
So, you can simply rename the folder in explorer, without using the TSVN
commands to do it (that won't work as you have noticed).
But that's *only* for the working copy root. If you want to rename any
folder or file *inside* that folder, you must use the TSVN commands to
do it!
