Feature request: Add icon overlay path include/exclude order configuration

Hello list,

I am using the TortoiseSVN tool for my daily work with the "Shell"
status cache setting because that performs best in my environment where
working copies are located both on local drives and network shares.
There is one setting that I'm currently missing, though: the option to
specify in what order the include/exclude path list is applied.

It happens that I have a lot of SVN working copies from different
libraries "Lib1", "Lib2", ... in one single folder like this:

C:\MyDevLibs\
     +- Lib1\
     +- Lib2\
     +- Lib3\
     ...
     +- LibN-1\
     \- LibN\

My include path configuration for icon overlays contains the line:

C:\MyDevLibs\*

Now one of these subfolders "LibX" contains a large amount of files. So
each time I browse into the folder "C:\MyDevLibs\" the explorer gets
stuck because TrotoiseSVN tries to calculate the icon status for that
subfolder. If I want to fix this by trying to exclude that subfolder
"LibX" from the include path configuration I would have to explicitly
add each of the "Lib1".."LibN" to the include path configuration which
is rather long.

In my opinion it would be nice to have the possibility to specify in
what order the include and exclude masks are applied (somehow inspired
by the "Order" directive from Apache [1]).

So in that case I would set ordering to "include, exclude" and define
the include path mask like done before:

C:\MyDevLibs\*

And define the exclude mask like this:

C:\MyDevLibs\LibX*

What do you think? Is there some other (better) way to utilize the icon
overlays in my case?
