[TSVN] Cahche crawling stops mid stream.

Hi Stefan

One might get the impression that from my stream of postings that
TortoiseSVN is causing lots of grief but in actual operation it is of
course *very very good and highly usable*. I'm just that I'm doing lots
of focused testing and re-testing to pick up some anomalies that might
be fixable.

Win2K.
Whilst loading and installing different revs today something re-occurred
which I think is probably a rectifiable bug. (Unless its M$s)
On opening up a drive for the first time containing some revisioned
folders the Cache has repeatedly stopped it's trawling before all the
folders have been examined.
No other keyboard or mouse clicking going on and nothing else active in
the TaskManager view.
I'm aware that antivirus stuff and firewall may be busy so the potential
for other background disk activity is ever present. But whats the
likelihood I would alway navigate to the folder at precisely the same
time as say the antivirus definitions arrived each time. (Nil).

It has done this several times today for both rev 4939 and the recent
rev 4978 after re-install, always stopping at the same point.
Pressing F5 is necessary to kick it off again, which completed the icon
populating process.

The trayicon debug tool shows the cessation of activity, which
corresponds with the last correctly displayed revisioned folder.
The following folder although revisioned too, does not get trawled and
does not receive an overlay icon nor any of the others below it in the
single pane Explorer view.

So, is there a possibility that the Cache's own disk writing is
prematurely halting the trawling?
If not, is there some way to ensure all folders at the root level are
visited when a drive /folder is opened?

Screenshots available on request.

Peter.
