Unfortunaetly, this work-around does not solve the problem. I still get
mixed-up icons after certain TSVN commands. However, meanwhile I found
out that this happens on C: (not a subst'ed drive) as well. So perhaps
the problem is not related to subst'ed drives.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy a new file to an existing working copy on C:, e.g. using Ctrl-C
and Ctrl-V in Explorer.
2. Choose SVN->Add on this new file and confirm the dialogs.
3. After the dialog disappeared _all_ files on the working copy,
including non-versioned files and the newly added file, are shown with
the green check mark icon. This icon is also shown on the .svn
directory. The icons do not change when I hit F5 (repeatedly).
4. Kill TSVNCache.exe using Task Manager.
5. Hit F5 in Explorer again (this creates a new instance of
TSVNCache.exe). The icons are now shown correctly: no icon for
non-versioned files, blue plus for newly added files, etc.
