TortoiseSVN: missing overlay icons (#2)
November 2nd, 2007
If you have tried everything but your TortoiseSVN is keenly denying to display the overlay icons on some folders, then maybe this one can help you.
Open the Windows Task Manager (you can do that by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc). Switch to the Processes tab and find the process with name TSVNCache.EXE. Kill that process by right-clicking on it and selecting End Process:
Then go back to window explorer, to the folder where the overlay icons was refusing to show up. Press F5 (Refresh). Did they show up? At least, it worked for me...
Please note that before you try this tip, you should have configured TortoiseSVN to display overlay icons for the folder type that is causing the problem.
