Thank you for the quick update. I see you have introduced a new bug with this change ;-)
https://code.google.com/p/tortoisesvn/issues/detail?id=547

Unfortunately the items 2, 3, 4 and 5 above have not improved with this update.

For items 2 and 3 I guess svn:mergeinfo is not parsed/handled correctly after a copy/rename.
For items 4 and 5 I guess the checkboxes are not considered at all or not correctly if combined.

Best regards
Sven.
