This is not a TSVN issue but a core piece of how SVN itself works.
One of the main ideas in SVN is that all commits are atomic - all or
nothing. If any piece fails, the whole commit will fail.

I don't see the SVN devs changing this. If your setup can't handle
large commits (which may be indicative of an issue with your network,
or your access method), then I'd suggest doing multiple smaller
commits, perhaps a script to troll through your WC and commit each
modified file individually.
