Absolutely right ... forgot the sorting issue when prepending.
After working for a few days with stuff on SVN, this is in my view a
very useful change regardless of OS.

BTW: Thanks to all for the work on SVN. I'll try to get into it when I
have time (time - huh!? what's that?) and may be contributing some code
as well.

Or as was suggested on the TSVN list:
filename.rXX.ext
so that the files continue to be grouped together alphabetically while
maintaining the usefulness of the extension in Windows.
