I'm aware that I shouldn't omit the drive letter from the URI and was
actually kind of surprised that it worked in the first place (before I
tried that and saw it worked, I was actually expected an error). I
assumed that SVN would tweak the provided URI to generate the correct
absolute path URI and was surprised that when bringing up the TSVN log
dialog it suggested the WC URI actually still pointed to the
"incomplete" URI: file:///TestRepo. Obviously, that's not how SVN behaves.
I take it you are rather suggesting to demonstrate the flaw by running
the svn command on the WC on D:\TestWC from a different working
directory, since that would then fail like TSVN does, since the recorded
repository path in the WC is not valid in that path context.
If so, thanks for the explanation, that certainly describes the behavior
I see (aka: TSVN's log command simply uses a different working directory
than the WC-root directory - which was the one I used when calling svn log).
