Why "no" for subversion?

What happens if I select a couple of files/directories in the explorer
and then apply "SVN Update..." - the dialog shows some consecutive
updates each finishing with "Completed At revision: xxxxx". I'm not
sure whether "xxxxx" is the same for each of these entries, but for me
it looks like these are sequential update operations each requesting the
HEAD revision.

Is a "selective update" like this an atomic operation? I haven't had the
time to play with this and try to commit and selectively update at the
same time (nor to look at the code). With the CLI only one "At revision"
is shown after a selective update, none in between, so it looks as if
the CLI only performs one update operation on the repository.

If I'm right and it's not an atomic operation, TSVN should change ASAP :-)

If I'm wrong and a selective update is in fact atomic the interface
should not write out multiple "At revision" lines or at least document
this behavior (the different output compared to the CLI).
