Sorry about not replying sooner.

I've used 4858 for the last couple days. It seems (so far) that the
problem where committing on a top-level directory and then that
directory still showing as modified after the commit is gone. Hopefully
you have gotten that fixed as its been around for awhile. The cache
seems much better in this version.

However, as Peter has been reporting, I had a directory showing "no
modifications" even though files inside that directory were modified.
No amount of drilling into the directory and then backing out or hitting
refresh would fix the problem. Finally, when I committed the working
copy, the "no modification" icon switched to the "modified" icon after
the commit, despite the fact that there were no files in the entire
working copy which were modified.

The structure of the working copy is simple. Inside the project root
are 6 files and 1 sub-directory. Inside the sub-directory there are 6
more files. It was this sub-directory that was showing the "no
modification" icon even though there was 1 file inside it that was
modified. I committed from the root directory so all my changes in the
working copy were committed. Then the sub-directory switched to the
modified icon but all the files showed the correct icon.
