That would be correct if you have one working copy, or all working
copies with similarly length paths.

But I'd say most setups are using multiple working copies with paths
that are very different in length.

Here's how it works:
* the columns are adjusted automatically to the path for the first few
entries shown.
* after ~10-50 entries are shown, the columns are not adjusted
automatically anymore since that's an expensive operation and would slow
down the UI update severely.
* as soon as the auto-column-adjustment is over, you can however adjust
the column with manually, and it will stay there!
* once the operation (update/commit/...) is finished, the columns are
adjusted to fit the shown text one last time.

Remembering the column width would lead to the wrong width for almost
all operations, unless you're working with the same working copy all the
time.
