The filename is generated by the svn library, not TSVN itself. And the
reasone for that filename is to avoid situations where such a file
already exists locally and of course the extension is added so the file
is opened correctly by assigned apps.

No, please read the faq again:
1. In TortoiseSVN->Settings->Subversion configuration file, click on the
edit button.
2 Change the [helpers] section by adding diff-cmd = "C:\\false.bat"
diff3-cmd = "C:\\false.bat" (note the double backslash)
So it should be very, very clear that the [helpers] section is in the
Subversion config file. I don't think we can make this any more clear
than it is.
