The call to AddFolderForCrawling() here is a good idea.
But removing all calls to that method in other places just won't work.
If you check the comments in the code, you should see that most of these
calls are necessary to keep the status up-to-date *recursively*.
Also, don't forget the 'bogus' state 'external' (not a real status
because an external folder has its own status), nested layouts (a nested
versioned folder appears as unversioned when the status is fetched for
its parent folder, but of course such a nested folder *has* its own
status) and property modifications (when an svn property is modified,
the directory watcher doesn't get a notification for that file/folder
but for a file inside the .svn folder only).
All these 'exceptions' require that we do more crawling than you might
think is necessary.

Yes, that's what I already did yesterday (I mentioned a fix in the
crawler that I wanted to test first in my last mail).

I've committed a change in r17016 which addresses most of your
suggestions (but without removing *all* calls to AddFolderForCrawling
since as I said most of them really are required).
