TortoiseSVN Committing To Multiple Targets

I use TortoiseSVN as my version control tool. I recently created a command line to commit changed files to the SVN repository.

My repository is located here: file:///F:/SVNRepository/TortoiseSVN

My source code file is located here: C:\Users\userid\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts\

If I go to Windows Explorer and right click on the file I see the following, which is correct:

Windows Explorer Commit Command

However, if I run the TortoiseSVN command I see the following:

Multiple targets and duplicates my files

Notice how the Commit To: says (multiple targets selected) and you see a duplicate of all the files.

I searched for hours now and can't seem to find out how to have the TortoiseSVN Commit Command show correctly.

Here is how I coded the command: 

'C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe' '/command:commit' '/path:"C:\Users\zrmfld\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts\*.*"'

Here is the result of the svn info command:

C:\Users\zrmfld\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts\TortoiseSVN>svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: C:\Users\zrmfld\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts
URL: file:///F:/SVNRepository/TortoiseSVN

  1. I don't know why you used apostrophes around each part of TortoiseProc command, according to docs (for CMD-shell ?) it isn't needed (note the first sample in the bottom on page with TortoiseProc's commit)
  2. For:commit command "...The /path specifies the target directory or the list of files to commit...", i.e "all (changed versioned) files in dir" may be just

/path:"C:\Users\zrmfld\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts\"

  1. C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\ usually added to PATH, TortoiseProc can be called from any location, thus: you can in script have smth. more readable like
cd C:\Users\zrmfld\Documents\ActiveDocuments\PSScripts
TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"." ...

Last but not least:

Easy and good automation of SVN-activities assumes using of fully non-interactive CLI-tools, which you can have as part of TortoiseSVN installation: easy and transparent syntax, no dialogues|windows, read svn help commit
