This has been covered previously... but the general idea is that Win7's
"Libraries" are synthetic views of multiple folders made to *appear* as
a single folder.
Since they *aren't* actually a folder, there isn't a real file system
path - which makes life hard for a number of app types that expect to
deal with file system paths... like Shell Extensions - like TSVN. ;)
Individual *files* as well as *folders* within libraries still have
paths, and there is even the concept of a "default folder for adding
files" - which can allow some apps to still pretend that all is normal
with libraries - but they are definitely different animals.
So no, this isn't a bug with either TSVN or Win7 - just a fact of life.
