If you modifiy the code, you'll have your very own version of TSVN.
Because I can't commit your changes: you're dealing with absolute paths

Creating your own url handler is not complicated: it's a simple entry in
the registry.

It is, because you want to start a program from a local, absolute path.
Imagine what a hacker could do with that...
