I see this all the time on my work PC. The problem is not that the
overlay is incorrect, it's that it is shown on the .svn folder.
Typically I change a file, and in explorer the file is shown as
unmodified and the .svn folder is shown as modified. I think this may be
due to a race condition within Explorer itself. Is that correct?
