@Stefan:
hmmm... i think i've got the point. the one who try to write to the
restricted folder is svn, not tsvn, so it will be hard to implement this.

btw, it's not that hard to run windows explorer in elevated privileges. in
folder options, there is an option called "Launch folder windows in
separate process" that by default unchecked. by checking thus option, and
then run windows explorer shortcut as administrator and, voila... you get
an explorer with administrator privileges.

well, it just the foreground explorer that have elevated priviliges, not
the background. but, isn't it sufficient? since the one who run tsvn is
this folder explorer!?
