RE: Overlay network share configuration -> explorer freeze/slowdown

I would expect the checkbox to work as a generic include or exclude-filter, but manually entering paths (to any type of drives) should work, regardless of the checkbox settings.

If TSVN is using entire core and WC is bit older (before ~14.1.2011) then it is updating wc.db to new format. If that is the case disable all overlays and make TSVN clean it up. It'll do update as part of process.

It is unfortunate that there is no warning. (With huge WC it can take days to finish or if you have large number of WCs...)
