TSVN tries to access every folder in the repository browser
automatically (it pre-fetches the contents of shown folder so browsing
is faster). It doesn't know which folders you have access to until it
tries to access them. So it doesn't keep trying but only tries once for
every folder.

But there's a bug in 1.7.1 that causes memory corruption in TSVN, which
might also add to your problem. Please try a nightly build as well and
check if that helps a little bit.
