Yes, child processes will have the same privileges as the parent process
by default (that's changeable by the parent process).
But you can't start an explorer instance with elevated privileges
without some serious hacking. If you could, TSVN would automatically run
with those elevated privileges as well.
But what you can do: use an explorer replacement, start that with
elevated privileges and then use TSVN from there.
