Only press F5 once and then wait. If you hit it repeatedly, the crawling
will first wait until you don't press F5 anymore, then start. If you hit
F5 while the crawler just started, it will pause and then start over again.

No. The cache is kept during reboots. To 'clear' the cache, either do a
'cleanup' on the folder where the overlay is wrong, or kill the
TSVNCache.exe process.

The cache recognizes files you show in explorer and have changed their
last-modification-date. It will then update itself for that file and
propagate that change up the tree. Obviously, in your case something
went wrong.
I've changed the cache so that it won't 'keep' the recursive status of
folders anymore but always recalculate those. Hope this helps in such cases.

Every modification inside a versioned tree is monitored by the cache and
makes it ask the Subversion status again (refreshes it).
