Context-menu takes very long to come up when WC is in the root of a share

Hello,

TortoiseSVN's context menu takes a very long time (about 15 seconds) to
appear when the working copy it is invoked on is directly in the root of
a share.

This happens for me on Samba; I have not tried it on a Windows machine
hosting the share.

Example:

   \\server\share <-- working copy

As far as I've been able to tell, and it's taken me a couple of hours
before I had worked out what happened, TortoiseSVN goes up in the
directory tree looking for .svn directories to find the root of the
working copy. However, it even goes up from the root of the share,
causing it to try to access

   \\server\.svn

This share does not exist. The access is then retried many times, and
the retries are forced to time out before the access finally fails and
the context menu appears.

I'm unsure if the retries are done by TortoiseSVN, Windows or Samba.

I've currently resolved the situation by creating a bogus empty shared
called ".svn". The context menu now appears immediately.

Suggested fix:

\\server\share should be considered the root of a drive; there is no
going one directory up from this directory.
