The tray icon has been available a long time now. But it's only visible
if you create the DWORD registry key
HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\CacheTrayIcon
and set the value to something else than 0.

There's only one crawler thread.

Hard to do. Gathering that info would take a lot of CPU.

There can be a *lot* of update events!

I've added some debugging info in revision 4965.
If you've created the registry key mentioned above so that the tray icon
is visible, a doubleclick on that icon opens a "debug" window showing
the last crawled paths. To close the window, doubleclick on the tray
icon again....
