Re: TortoiseSVN 1.6.8 not showing read-only icon overlay

I added the registry keys below with 1.6.8, and still no read-only
icon overlay, even after restarting. Without editing the registry
further, I uninstalled 1.6.8 and installed 1.6.7. Now I can see the
read-only icon overlay with 1.6.7. Is there something else that I am
missing, or is this a new "feature" in 1.6.8? :)
