TortoiseSVN->Settings->Icon overlays-> use Shell for status instead of default.
The default behaviour is to show status recursively, that is, if there
is a change deep down in your working copy, the modified status
overlay will be propagated upwards to the WC root. To do that we have
to crawl the entire WC in a separate low priority process. But if it
locks explorer, that is a bug, usually indicating that TSVNcache got
stuck in a loop somewhere and is consuming 100% CPU.
The Shell method just gets status for the displayed directory,
non-recursively. If you have a huge flat structure (thousands of files
in one folder) that will also lock the explorer while it is doing the
scan because the shell itself is doing the scanning and it can't be
backgrounded.
