Okay fair enough, I still think it's worth raising on Connect though, even
if MS do their usual thing of closing it as 'By Design', otherwise, it will
*definitely* never get considered.

I have no doubt you know how to do it! I'm just nudging you to consider it.
I'm prepared to help out if you can be persuaded it's worthwhile.

You wouldn't need to crawl the directory hierarchy for every file though,
nor even every directory. You only need to know if the root of this working
copy is on a path which contains a junction (or susbt drive). That
particular information could be cached in-memory, easily, at low cost. While
it's true that the number of versioned files on a user's HDD may be in the
hundreds of thousands, it is unlikely that the total number of working
copies would be more than tens, or possibly hundreds of items and so it
would be relatively inexpensive.
Cheers,
Damian.
