SV: Feature request: "Close project"

You could use the icon overlay exclude path to exclude your old working
copies from TSVN:

l#tsvn-dug-settings-overlay

A possible addition could be to add an extra setting for "Exclude from
status cache". Folders put there would then not be added to the cache
and instead fall back on one of the other options. But I do not know if
this would be easily possible to do on a per-folder-basis.

How big are your working copies, how many do you have and how much
memory is TSVNCache consuming?

I think that using the current overlays is a bad idea, and adding new
overlay icons is most probably not an option either due to the way
windows handles them.
