Yes.

There's one in the svn library, but not in TSVN since TSVN does not use
that option.

The problem is that if that option is specified, the svn lib will always
create subfolders even if the target folder already exists - in that
case it won't throw an error but create a subfolder with the same name.
Since that is something many users don't want, TSVN doesn't use that option.

Not really.
