Re: TortoiseSVN Bug with overlay icons on network drives

Just a suggestion, but have you tried loopback mounting a network drive?
Share the folder you create a subst of as a private share (end the share
name with $), read/write only by the user (or read/write only by the
machine, if you prefer), and mount that network drive as another drive
letter. I used to use subst too, but found that too many programs broke
with it. Never had a problem with the loopback network drive.
