Thank you Ulrich for all details you give us.
For me it's absolutely clear now, I guess.
You would like to select all folders and when you select relocate
command, TSVN should identify all folders as directories from the same
repository and instead it shows the full path, TSVN should shows only
the same part and giving to the user the option to change only the
same part of the path, right? So if you have 3 directories all from
the same repository but different projects, you could do the relocate
for all of three directories in only one command.
Well, it really could be a good feature, but in my opinion this
situation is very uncommon. I've worked with SVN for almost 5 years
now and I don't remember when I needed that before.
