I'm planning to completely change our settings dialog to something
more UI friendly this weekend. So maybe you might want to wait until
then to document the settings dialog.
But of course, you could start on the overlay descriptions already ;)

- 'normal', 'modified', 'conflicted' always loaded/visible
- 'deleted' falls back to 'modified' if not loaded
- 'readonly' falls back to 'normal' if not loaded
- 'added' falls back to 'modified' if not loaded, won't load (even if
windows would) if more than 13 overlay handlers are installed
- 'locked' falls back to 'normal' if not loaded, won't load (even if
windows would) if more than 12 overlay handlers are installed.

As you can see: TSVN now isn't 'greedy' anymore with the overlays. If
it detects that other apps have overlay handlers installed too and
that the number of installed handlers exceeds the windows limit, it
won't load 'added' and/or 'locked' to give the other apps a chance to
show their overlays. In that case, TSVN just falls back to the next
best overlay it uses instead of showing *no* overlay for those files.
