The convention on this E-mail list is not to top-post, because it is
more difficult to follow the thread. Thanks.

When I talked about "repository files", I was referring to the back end
files managed by the server (which are read by "svnadmin dump" and
written by "svnadmin load"). You are talking about the front end
display in TortoiseSVN, which is a separate product on top of Subversion.
Someone (not me) on the Subversion E-mail list might know the answer to
your question, but you should probably ask on the TortoiseSVN E-mail
list. Good luck.
