I just tested this myself. I took a folder (including desktop.ini)
with a customized icon (icon pointed to an application on my hard
drive) & copied it to an already-versioned directory. It had the ?
overlay, with the custom icon.
I added it, and it had the + overlay and still the custom icon.
Committed, and got the green check with the custom icon.
I then checked out the directory to another location, and it had the
standard icon. desktop.ini was still there. I went to Customize
Folder, changed the icon to what it "should" be, and it took. Now, the
real trick - Check for Modifications shows no changes!
I'm assuming that Customize Folder does some Registry Voodoo in
addition to desktop.ini, and that's what's missing. IMHO, TSVN
shouldn't seek out these customizations & make that change on its own.
