Export of multiple directories grabs entire repository.

Hi- I love TortoiseSVN. Thanks for making it so easy to use,
and generally getting it right in lots of places.
I ran across an odd behavior today. Here are the details:
I am running TSVN 1.4.5 (Build 10425) on a Windows XP box.
My repository is on a Windows2003 server.
I am trying to copy one portion of my files to a website, and
have mounted the website as my W: drive using WebDrive.
The files I want to copy are in a directories like so:

C:\mylocaltrunk\Datasheets\directory-a\fn1, fn2, fn3
C:\mylocaltrunk\Datasheets\directory-b\fn4, fn5, fn6
C:\mylocaltrunk\Datasheets\directory-c\fn7, fn8, fn9
C:\mylocaltrunk\Datasheets\directory-d\fn11, fn12, fn13
C:\mylocaltrunk\Datasheets\directory-e\fn21, fn22, fn23
If I select directory-a in windows and right-click,
I can choose Export from the TSVN context menu,
and export all of directory-a to my webserver.

However, If I select multiple directories in windows
(e.g. select directory-a, directory-b, etc) and then
right-click, I seem to get a slightly different context menu;
if I go ahead and select Export, then I am in a repository
browser that offers to export my entire repository.
(and it will attempt to, if I let it go with the default.)
If I instead drill down to the folders I was interested in,
It exports only the last of the folders I select.

I'm sure there are good reasons for this behavior, but
it is very non-obvious to me why it should be happy
to export one folder, when that is all I have selected, but
then behave so differently when I have selected multiple folders.

Can you either explain this behavior, or perhaps schedule
this as a future improvement?

Thanks!
