Well, the way the way the cache works at the moment is that when you ask
for a file's status, it checks that file's modification date, and the date
of the .svn\entries file, as a quick way if seeing if anything's changed.

Clearly the problem here is that 'anything' doesn't include properties,
which were something I completely forgot about at the beginning of the dev
of TSVNCache.

I think you *might* get the ignores OK if we looked for changes in
.svn\dir-props.

Until the new file-system file mechanism which MS is developing is ready, I
agree with you that OS-based file watching isn't really practical.
