Sorry for being persistent, but this brings us back to my original idea:
if I use only one URL most of the time then I could set my default URL
under Settings. If I don't do that then the URL dialog comes up with an
empty string.
This setting would be especially useful in combination with another
suggestion I posted under "Suggestion: default checkout directory path".
The background of these two suggestions is the idea that user
friendliness of TSVN could be improved when it is used in the following
scenario:
A group of developers is accessing one single repository in a LAN. The
repo contains many projects, one per top-level directory. Developers
have to create new projects and to switch between projects quite often.
To keep things simple the directory structure on the local disk (working
copies) corresponds to the structure of the repo.
This scenario applies to my company and possibly to many others.
