I guess this is a "not yet" then. I guess not unless you have it
implemented in the TSVN GUI.

Makes sense from your point of view.

For which I am grateful, thank you.

BTW, locking-related overlays are meaningless for *all* DVCS, so I bet
it's a benefit for the git and bzr tortoises as well.

The minor problem is that the change is bundled with a whole new
dropping mechanism via HKCU, that can only be controlled from TortoisSVN
dialogs currently.

Which makes it questionable for me to go back to using unversioned now.

But I agree the other changes are beneficial for TortoiseHg. Thanks again.

It is a drawback in the sense that we have no control over what is in
the HKCU TortoiseOverlays drop settings currently from the TortoiseHg
GUI. It is currently only controlled by TortoiseSVN settings GUI.

And it was a surprising to see that being introduced (a new setting
affecting all tortoises).

But as soon as the mechanism is implemented for unlocked and readonly
too, it makes sense for us as well.

The plan to implement user controlled dropping of handlers via HKCU for
each overlay is a good one. It just needs a GUI to control that dropping
in all Tortoises.

I will have to do so, before going back to reintroduce unversioned.

Which was the whole point that got me started in these recent
discussions here (defunct unversioned overlay on Windows 7).

But the new drop order is indeed a massive improvement for DVCS'es
(DVCS = distributed version control system -- for those readers not
being used to see this acronym popping up every other day).

Many thanks again.
