If one can find the mailing list, one can find that. Right on the
homeoage. http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk

http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - see #7 under
"Before you sl" especially (the OP qualifies as a "developer" with
this request).

Stefan (and others) offers this software for free (I'm not even sure
TSVN development is his paying day job) and has to deal with a dozen
people a day claiming "bug" when they just haven't RTFM'd or done the
most basic of searches to answer their quetsion.

Asking people to put in a little effort before they criticize his code
(without looking at it themselves, mind you) is not unreasonable.
