The TSVN lead developer just answered a very similar question on the TSVN
list within the past 24 hours. His advice is to select the single directory
*above* the modified folders & files. In your case, this appears to be the
root of your working copy. This allows TSVN to commt using a single path. If
you select individual folders or files, each must be passed to the SVN
library as a separate path, causing unnecessary delays.
Also, your guess that TSVN doesn't need to re-check the status is wrong. The
icons are set by a different "helper" program called TSVNCache and are for a
visual aid only. Because of how Windows processes events, there may be a lag
time and some icons may even be displayed incorrectly, particularly in the
left folder window of the Explorer. If this bothers you, the icons can be
disabled. To be certain that the correct files and statuses are displayed,
TSVN recursively checks all folders & files for modifications before the
commit dialog is displayed.
In the future, you should direct TSVN-specific questions to the TSVN users
list.
