That *only* works if the CWD (current working directory) is set to where
you want to check out your working copy. The command line client always
has the CWD set to where it starts from. That's the case for all console
applications.
UI applications however have their CWD set to something else. And
especially those applications which are started from the explorer -
their CWD is set to whatever the last shell extension has set it to.
We could work around this by always setting the CWD to the dir where you
right-clicked. But then Subversion might fail on some commands because
the CWD might not be writable.
In short: you can't do this with TSVN. And I doubt it would work with
other UI clients either.
