I'm currently debugging the whole thing here. And as I thought it isn't
that easy. Just checking for folder and then fetching the status
differently (or just returning &invalidstatus) doesn't work. Well it
might for the overlays alone, but there's also the column provider which
has to use the same cache.
The problem you're seeing (fetching the status from a folder above the
one you're actually looking at) comes from the column provider which
calls the status function on the parent folder(!) too. The problem is
that sometimes it asks the parent folder first, but sometimes not. So I
can't just check if the status is requested by the column provider the
first time and then do something else - sometimes the first call of the
column provider is for a 'normal' file/folder and not the parent folder.
About the relative paths: I've asked on the subversion mailing list for
including revision 11439 in 1.1.2. Maybe you guys should kick in there
and 'vote' for that too! With that fix, we won't have to use relative
paths in the shell extension at all, and we won't risk crashes because
of that.
Stefan
btw: thanks for the patch. I just can't really use it.
