This is actually the svn library, not TSVN which requires this. And the
reason is that svn uses configurations from different places. The
%ALLUSERPROFILE% contains default settings which users then can override
in %APPDATA%.

But if you get an error if ALLUSERSPROFILE doesn't exist, then I'd say
that this is a bug.

Looking through the code, I can see the problem in
libsvn_subr\config_win.c just at the top.

I'll have a closer look - I may get this to work better and create a
patch for Subversion...
