Sorry! Shows how long it is since I worked on the project...

OK, I didn't remember that it's been tried (I have been *SO* busy
elsewhere), but ISTR my aim with cache was always that it should be
completely reliable for non-recursive information, and should rely on the
crawler only for recursive stuff. In principle you should be able to get
(reliable) non-recursive info from the cache for only the time taken to
stat the files and stat the .svn\entries file, (if the cache is up to date).
I can see that the cache missing info that the context menu needs is
possibly a lot more of a serious problem, though...
Certainly my grand plan for TSVNCache's world domination involved removing
all the TSVN libs from the shellex altogether, though it obviously needs to
be pretty darn good before we do that.
I've probably overlooked some obvious way in which the cache can't give
that reliable info, but I can't currently think what it is...
Cheers,
Will
