Prior to 1.7, TSVN did *not* do that--e.g., with TSVN 1.6.15, if you opened the Repo browser to http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/mailto, the pane on the left would show these folders: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org -> mailto -> {branches, tags, trunk}, plus a message at the bottom that says, "Hint: Press F5 to refresh the selected subtree and Ctrl+F5 to load all children too".

In 1.6, you had
http://reporoot/sub/sub/selectefolder
and nothing else.
If you didn't *know* that there were other folders below the root, you
would never ever know that.

Now 1.7 actually fetches the folder list up to the repo root. For
normal projects that's not a problem.
For wordpress, that's a problem.

1.7 also pre-fetches information while you're looking at the repo
browser. Once you decide what to click on, the repo browser has that
information already loaded.
That's why the Ctrl-F5 option is gone.
