I changed the behaviour in revision 10607

The second context menu item for links now only appears if the destination
is in a working copy. No more need to quote the FAQ "I get multiple
TortoiseSVN context menu entries when I right click on a link!"
I've also corrected the icons if the context menu is invoked on a lnk file.
They were swapped around.

Confirmed, but I didn't change the behaviour for linked folders. You can add
the lnk file in the commit dialog though.

Yes, exactly, but again, I didn't change the behaviour for linked
folders :-)

You will only get two context menu entries if the target of the link points
to a file inside a working copy. Note: the TSVN commands which you position
in the top level menu are not duplicated if they need to be, i.e. if a lnk
file is added and its target is modified "Commit" only appears once,
instead of twice. This seems to be a corner case which is currently not
supported.

Cleaning up the context menu for linked folders is on my personal todo list,
but I haven't had the time yet to have a closer look.
