Sorry Stefan, no meant to get you angry however I tend to disagree with you.
About "TortoiseSVN.dll" - you can try replacing/modifying/deleting/whatever with it when the explorer is using it. You'll fail. Then, the only way it can be updated is when it is not used => when it is loaded again it is loaded from the disk => the new version is used.
About "TSVNCache.exe" - I personally killed it and watched it missing for more than 15 seconds then it was loaded - again, from the disk.
Although restart is a nice thing, I can't allow it to happen more than once a month so I'll continue this way and since I fail to comply with the requirements for a restart I'll stfu.

I did. The repository is updated with the newest version of "SHARED", but neither "SHARED", nor App2->SHARED or App3->SHARED were marked as changed. If I manually "Update" them, they got the newest version.

App1->>SHARED and update App2 and App3.

RTFM as always...
I did but will do again, maybe missed something.

This one I obviously missed. Will use the right drag in the future.
