This is the right place for TSVN documentation, but you ought to post
on the Subversion Users list as well as it's the SVN libraries that do
the dirty work.
The recommendation will probably remain, or be amended to say "if you
use VS2003, do this, if you use 2005 or newer you don't have to." The
SVN folks tend to be as accommodating as is practical of people who
aren't necessarily running the latest & greatest.
