Actually, this won't be fixed: as soon as only one entry is not
checked, TSVN has to execute any command non-recursively. So in that
situation the revert will always fail. Not much we can do about that.
The problem with your approach is that you first selected both
folders, but *then* decide that one folder you explicitly selected
should not be reverted.
Just select the one you want to revert and not the other in the first
place - then the revert works.
