I thought it was clear after my answer:
it doesn't matter. The cache gets change notifications not in the
'right' order (from top down) but in random order (whenever a change
to a file is done). That means it can get a change notification for a
file somewhere in an unversioned folder way before it has fetched the
status of the versioned parent folder.
