Tortoise SVN Icon Overlays do not reflect status of files

March 12th, 2010

When using TortoiseSVN on a large file system the status of the working copies gets out of sync and the icons symbolize outdated information. In this scenario the “TSVNCache.exe” seems to be unable  to keep up with changes made to files.

“TSVNCache.exe” observes the whole file system instead of only the locations where repositories are checked-out to.

The solution to avoid the outdated or random icon-overlays is limiting “TSVNCache.exe” to the locations of the file system where working copies are kept.

Follow these steps to optimize Tortoise SVN Cache Disk I/O.
