Firstly you need to understand two concepts;
- the 'repository' is the master collection of files on the server
- your 'working copy' is the local *copy* of files on your pc\

An 'update' copies any new changes from the server to your working copy. A 'commit' send any changes from your working copy to the repository.

Updates and commits are a manual process - they have to be started by a user who understand the consequences of their actions.

So - back to the overlays. They indicate the status of your *working copy*, not the repository. The green tick means that your working copy has not been modified *since you last updated*. It does not mean that the repository has not been updated.

You might want to look at :
- svnmonitor.com
- Microsoft Groove / Collanos / Collaber

for the functionality you are after.
