SUBSTed drives sometimes behave weird with Subversion. And especially
with the status cache (TSVNCache) because the folder is actually present
twice and the change notifications only get sent once - so *one* of the
working copies (usually the SUBSTed one) doesn't get the notifications
and therefore the overlays don't match.
But if you're having the working copy on e.g. an USB stick and use it on
different computers, then the Cache doesn't know anything about your
changes/work on the other computer and therefore shows completely wrong
overlays.
The "command" to clear the status cache is "cleanup": just execute the
cleanup on your working copy and the cache will get cleared and starts
from scratch for that working copy.
