Starting a new process every time you show a context menu? That's not a
good idea because it takes way too long - a context menu has to show up
immediately.

You should consider using the svn libraries directly and use the
corresponding APIs to find out whether a file is versioned or not.

You *could* use SubWCRev (either the command line or the COM object) to
find out if a file is versioned. I would suggest using the COM object
for this.
Example in javascript:

filesystem = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
subwcrevObject = new ActiveXObject("SubWCRev.object");
subwcrevObject.GetWCInfo(filesystem.GetAbsolutePathName("file.txt"), 1, 1);

if (subwcrevObject.IsSvnItem)
   WScript.Echo("file is versioned);
else
   WScript.Echo("file is not versioned);
