RE: I love the tortoise. but...

Oh, I suspect it's operator error (my bad). Could be a virus checker - however reboot (without uninstalling tortoise) doesn't free the directories. I still get "access denied" when a try to rename/move an SVN directory.

Uninstall, reboot, move, rename, install, reboot does the business.

By default, no.

Settings -> Icon Overlays -> Exclude/Include paths.

I think before you go any further here, you need to get past "I think
Tortoise has a lock on something" and get conclusive evidence. It's
much more likely that you have an antivirus program holding you up
here.
