Re: revert deletes subdirectory

Brilliant guess!
I never really use explorer, so i didnt know the true effects of this
setting, and that TSVN will use it, but only if you have "Use Recycle
bin when reverting" set, which is the default. Also "Manipulate
connected files as a unit" is the default in explorer, but you can
switch it off even without TweakUI.
I switched off "Manipulate connected files as a unit" and now all is
cool.
Thank you for your help!
