yes, but the BDS UI shows multiline paths. Look at the Search Path,
you'll see that it has multiple values. Each line is separated by a
semicolon in the combo box. And frankly, if TortoiseSVN was to stop at
the first carriage return, or replace it by a space and stop at the
hundredth character, I wouldn't mind at all. That was also suggested by
Ian Brockbank. As I said earlier, the combo box has inherent
limitations, which are know, and fine by most people. Those who want
more control still have the button to show up the dialog.
All I'm saying here is to bring in both solutions. And if you get bug
reports saying "the combo box does this" or "the combo box does not do
this", you will be able to simply answer "well, use the dialog box".
My 2 cents
