[TSVN] Disjoint subdirectories - bug since 1.1.2?

Hi!

I'm using TortoiseSVN on Windows 2000 and Windows XP (SP2). Since 1.1.2
overlays and even the context menu for so called "disjoint
subdirectories" are no longer working correctly. Disjoint subdirectories
  are explained in the subversion book (see section "Externals
Defintion" in the subversion book).

But instead of the svn:externals property (and its drawbacks, especially
on branching, tagging and absolute path), we use a set of scripts, which
result in a series of svn commands like this:

svn checkout [repos]/project/trunk .
svn checkout [repos]/shared/trunk/src/module1 src/module1
svn checkout [repos]/shared/trunk/src/module2 src/module2
...

This is allowed in svn workspaces as long as complete directories are
checked out.

== Observed behaviour ==
Sometimes the first "disjoined" subdirectory has an overlay icon,
sometimes not (first, depending on the current sorting order and
column): At the moment (I'm not sure that's always true) its really
reproducible: If I refresh the explorer view with [F5] 6 times, the
overlay icon appears exactly once...

All subsequent "disjoined" subdirectories don't have an overlay (as far
as I've seen it).

Non-disjoined subdirectories between disjoint directories are working as
expected.

Note: TortoiseSVN seems to work as expected, if "Recurse into folders to
fetch status" is turned on. Because of performance penalty it is turned
*OFF* on our systems.

== Expected ==
As in TortoiseSVN <=1.1.1.

Maybe one of your "speed improvements" (in 1.1.2) cut off too much?

Even this issue reduces usability of TortoiseSVN in our systems at the
moment, overall quality of your application is still good. There are
many explorer shell enhancements which decrease system stability a lot -
not so yours.

Greetings

Christian
