I was expecting someone to say, "Yes, we know about that problem. It's being fixed." Or even, "No, we can't reproduce that problem. Your computer's f--ed up." Any kind of useful response at all would have been nice.

I can use Google too. And I did. But I wasn't searching for "library" because I'm *not* working in a library.

I'm happy to say, however, that I discovered the problem, and the thread you linked me too helped. It turns out that Libraries are only peripherally involved. The real issue is that any given explorer window has its own notion of what the "root" is. Anything in Libraries doesn't work because the root is "Libraries", rather than the C drive. In my case, the explorer windows were treating my user folder -- C:\Users\Jeff -- as the root. But if I navigated from Computer through the C drive to my folder, then all the TSVN starts working normally again.
