It is a good indication, but as I mentioned in a later email, if all
files in a folder have that overlay then it just makes the other
overlays (modified, conflicted) more difficult to see because they don't
stand out.

Yes it might. Octagon is no good because it looks exactly like a circle
except with huge icons, and not many developers use those. The other
possibility is the symbol which windows uses to mean 'you can't drag
that file to here', like when you try to drag C drive onto D drive in
explorer. In Win2K you get a black circle with a diagonal line through
it. If you have low vision it might look a bit like a circle with a
tick, but you could slope the line the other way (is that a tock?).

I like 'straight' as well, but I miss the tick mark in the green circle.
At one point you were going to add another set that is a hybrid between
straight and XP-style, ie. the straight shapes and colours, but with a
tick in InSubversion, an exclamation mark in Conflicted and either a
star or an exclamation mark in Modified.
We don't have long for feedback, though. SVN 1.2 should be released
today and I'm sure Stefan won't want to hang around for long after that
;-) We need to get something in all the icon sets (some of them still
have 2 padlocks), and update the .png versions for the manual images.
I will be glad to get 1.2 out - there have been almost 950 repository
revisions and loads of great new features since 1.1.3 which was the last
non-bugfix release.
