Just a idea but I saw something in the MSDN about static icon handlers
at <
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_extending/extensionhandlers/iconhandlers.asp>.

If I understood it correctly there should be the possibility to add a
Icon Handler for directories. Then the Icon Handler had to check if this
is a unversioned directory and just output the normal folder icon
otherwise output a 'fetching status'-icon that shows that the real
status isn't known yet.
There are also options to suppress the caching of the icons.

My skills in programming are to low to test this myself but maybe
someone of you could have a look at it. I just wanted to bring this up
because I think this can work around the overlay limit of 15 icons.
