@KLM
have you try to change SunATE permission, so anyone can gain access to thus
folder?
or may be you could run windows explorer as an administrator, so subsequent
proses would run as administrator.
@Stefan:
AFAIK, by default, child process will have same permission with its parent.
for example, when i want to run mulitple program as an admimistrator, i
usually open up a command prompt with run as administrator context menu,
than run other program from thus console.
so imo, as long as tsvn gain administrator priviledges, all call to
underlying svn client, will have administrator priviledges too.
well, i'm not suggest you to accept this request though, just throwing some
idea ;)
