Re: TortoiseSVN causing Windows Explorer hangs?

Hi,

We are having the same problems.. I have noticed that killing the
TSVNCache process unfreezes the Explorer window right away. The process
gets automatically restarted when the Explorer needs it the next time to
display some icons. A real fix would be great though...
