Where does TSVN cache this data?

If in the registry, I think you could use HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \
TortoiseSVN or similar.

If in a file, could put it under %APPDATA%\TortoiseSVN

While I am not a MS Windows programmer (I just use MS Windows at work), I
am pretty sure that running processes can receive notifications on user log
out, switch user and shutdown in advance of a forced termination so that
the TSVN sheel extension process could clear sensitive data before
terminating.

(Yes, I know that MS Windows compliance with the POSIX specification is
questionable, but the many times I have accidentally clicked Shutdown
instead of Hibernate, some programs terminated before I was able to cancel
the shutdown, so it appears those were receiving and acting on some kind of
pre-shutdown notice.)
