Yikes, sorry.
Think about what you're asking here. Imagine users who have a long url
to their repositories:

SVN Update
SVN Commit https://tortoisesvn.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
SVN Revert...
TortoiseSVN ->

And that's just the url we use for TSVN. There are much longer urls out
there.
Users would kill us for messing with the context menu that much and make
it unusable because it takes up half the width of the monitor.
