Fine for you, but all I ever use is the Repository Browser, so the file
selector could be dropped for all I care.

Exactly - they bring up a dialog for an advanced way of filling the
textbox next to them, which can be everything from a color picker to a
font selection dialog to a file selector to, obviously, TSVN's
Repository Browser. Because usually I don't want to check out the whole
repository, and a file selector gives you exactly zero opportunity to
select a folder from the repository like the Repository Browser does now.

Where did you get the idea that all a "..." button ever does is bring up
a file selector? That's usually done with a button labelled "Browse...".

Also, in case you haven't noticed it the textbox here is a URL entry
field, so you could say it's rather surprising for a standard windows
file selector to open at all.
