"An update operation tried to delete or move a file" dialog cuts off its button captions

First of all, it's nice to see SVN 1.10's much improved handling of tree conflicts coming to fruition!

TortoiseSVN's interactive task dialog tries to helpfully explain the full paths of each possible action, but because those paths can easily get long, they can get truncated, like here: https://imgur.com/a/E4bYDo4

I don't know if the Win32 API imposes a relatively short limit on command button descriptions, or if this is merely a line wrapping issue.

In either case, the dialog should probably try to leave out common portions of the path if the text gets too unwieldy (and the differences get too hard to notice for the user), e.g.:

"Move and merge local changes from trunk\…\NightlyUserAccountStatistics.html into trunk\…\NightlyUserAccountStatistics.cshtml"

It would also be nice to highlight (bold?) the actual path changes. In this case, since this is actually quite hard to make out:

NightlyUserAccountStatistics.**cs**html
NightlyUserAccountStatistics**_NewAccountsTable.cs**html
…

Most of the text shown in those dialogs, including the button texts are provided by the svn library, so we can not shorten the path without having to parse a string for possible paths.
Maybe you should ask on the svn users list for better texts.

Hi Stefan,

ah, I didn't realize this part of the UI came straight from them. I'll talk to them!

Thanks,
