svn commit has the same kind of, shall we say, "problem". If I commit
from the root of the WC and do not specify a message, I get full paths to
the files in the prepared commit message. If I specify a single file,
the prepared message will contain only the filename and no path
information. Committing on two paths, svn will find the common parent to
both folders and use this as the root of the commit.
Some examples will help:

System is Win2K SP3. Server is Apache 2.0.47 (although in this case,
this does not matter. Client-issue only).
What I know is that when I specify a path, the svn-commit.tmp file will
be created in the folder where the commit path is. So, when nothing is
specified, '.' is implied, and svn-commit.tmp is created as
.\svn-commit.tmp. When I pass src\java\core, the svn-commit.tmp file is
created as .\src\java\core\svn-commit.tmp.
I believe there was a request, oh so long ago, where someone asked if the
prepared svn-commit.tmp message could contain the path to the root of the
WC. I understand that this is not possible, but at least, if I start the
commit from the root of my WC, at least give me the full path from the
root of the WC, and not from the path to the svn-commit.tmp.
Thanks for listening !
Bye,
François
