RE: Re: Status information -- needs a better solution

Why do people use network shares for development?

Our company has a central share for hosting svn. Each of us works on a
laptop (we're consultants). When we're connected, we do SVN Update and
SVN Commit... My working copy is on my laptop.

Before we disconnect from the network, we do SVN Update, then
disconnect, travel, work at Starbucks, whatever. Next time we connect
to the network, we do SVN Commit...

It works very well.

Maybe you have reasons for using a network share. Yet, TortoiseSVN
works very well when you have a local working copy on the
laptop/desktop. I would avoid using network shares for working copies.

***** (5 stars) for TortoiseSVN.

For me, if the refresh for icon overlays seem a little slow, I hit F5
to force Explorer to refresh. Does the trick every time for me.

Ok, now it's clear why you don't have always up-to-date status
overlays.
You see, on network shares, it's the server that does the monitoring.
And the server is responsible for sending notifications about changes
of
files to the clients. But those notifications have a very low priority

on the server - other serving tasks (sending files, websites, ...)
come
first. Sometimes a server even drops change notifications.
Also, those notifications are sent unacknowledged, so if a packet is
lost, neither server nor client will notice that - and that means the
cache simply doesn't know about a change and won't update the status.

There's nothing I can do about that, sorry.
