That's how Subversion works unfortunately. Even though TSVN provides all
the paths you see in the commit dialog separately, Subversion then
'merges' them together to do a commit of the parent folder. And since
the parent folder of all the files you've selected is not a working
copy, you'll get that error.

If you want this changed, you have to report it on the Subversion
mailing list.
