Hey! I already wrote exactly the same patch! But I didn't propose it upstream because I was unable to reproduce the bug.

This is puzzling: a) AFAICT, the code works on all other system as it stands,

I had this issue already twice, but later (after a reboot? I don't remember) it worked again (without the patch). It might be related to an upgrade of TortoiseSVN (try to upgrade TortoiseSVN without rebooting).

b) putting this many quotes into the command line is not plausible.

""c:\path\to\subwcrev.exe" arg1 arg2 ..." just works. I don't understand why (strange syntax), but it works :-)

When I had the problem, it worked with extra quotes, but not without. It is strange because the program ("c:\path\to\subwcrev.exe") existed!?
