It's not really applicable because TortoiseSVN does not call the SVN
command line utility like TortoiseCVS does. Not sure about
TortoiseGit. TortoiseSVN is compiled with the SVN library so it makes
call directly into the library functions. That means it is not
generating a command line as such, although there will be a command
line equivalent to every action.
