TortoiseSVN - Issues when working in a sub-dir within a WC - "svn: warning: W155007: '.' is not a working copy"

Hi al!

I've recently updated to TortoiseSVN-1.7.1.22161-x64-svn-1.7.1.msi and I'm seeing an odd behavior. If I try to do any operation within a WC sub-dir directly from the command line (I installed the tools together with the GUI), I get an error:

                svn: warning: W155007: '.' is not a working copy

And if I open an explorer window directly there, I get a context menu that *does not* include the Commit/Update/etc options that are normal in an WC. See "TSVN-Image1-08-11-2011 18-22-35.png"

BUT if I open an Explorer window in the ROOT of the WC, and then click down to the same directory, then things seem to "wake up" and then the GUI gets the proper element, and the command line works... See "TSVN-Image2-08-11-2011 18-23-02.png"

There is a similar behavior in the command line: initially what I did was:

* Open an Explorer window to the WC sub-dir

* Open a CMD shell there (using StExBar) and do an SVN ST there, which fails

* CD to the WC root (mapped to %svn% in my laptop), and then do an "svn st" on each dir before drilling down to the same folder and it works in all the folders in the middle...

The shortened version of the CMD dialog is:

svn: warning: W155007: '.' is not a working copy

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\<FOLDER1>\<FOLDER2>\<FOLDER3>
>cd %svn%

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort
>svn st
<<CORRECT SVN ST output>>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort
>cd <FOLDER1>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\<FOLDER1>
>svn st
<<CORRECT SVN ST output>>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\<FOLDER1>
>cd <FOLDER2>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\<FOLDER1>\<FOLDER2>
>svn st
<<CORRECT SVN ST output>>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\\<FOLDER1>\<FOLDER2>
>cd <FOLDER3>

C:\WORKDOCS\DOCS_jaravj\PROJ\SVN_CO_Tort\\<FOLDER1>\<FOLDER2>\<FOLDER3>
>svn st
<<CORRECT SVN ST output>>

Once I've done that, things seem to work fine for that set of directories, but if I open a NEW explorer window to another path in the WC tree, I get the same behavior...

This is extremely uncomfortable, as I have to go up and down in my "WC" tree every time that I need to use SVN - which makes it very inefficient...

Best Regards
