Why are the overlays showing the wrong status?
Sometimes you find that the overlays don’t reflect the real status of files and/or folders. Usually, hitting the F5 key is enough to make the overlays appear correctly (you might have to wait a few seconds until the cache has fetched the status again). The treeview on the left side of the explorer is a whole other story. It won’t update the overlays, no matter how many times you hit the F5 key. That’s a problem with the explorer and outside of TortoiseSVN’s reach. A short explanation: The treeview always shows the whole explorer tree, including network drives and other namespace extensions.
