Issue 16: Overlay Icons for the Toplevel (Root) folder http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/16/overlay-icons-for-the-toplevel-root-folder
Adrian Buehlmann / abuehl on Mon, 4 May 2009 09:50:37 +0200: Comment: This would be sure nice to have but even with the C++ shell extension this would be painfully slow for any non-toy situation (I tried it). Consider having 10 clones of netbeans or python-trunk in a dir A: this means stat-ing (i.e. checking file sizes and modification times) of 40'000 files each time you open A. On another note, it might be possible to simply persistently cache the whole output of hg status into a private file in each repo (maybe ".hg/thgstatus"?) and just display what's in there. Question left would be: when would we update the thgstatus file and what about disks (e.g. flashs drives) that should not be written to? A simple solution would be to add an "update icons" command to the context menu, but then imagine having to do that for all 10 clones in the directory A mentioned above... Sigh, quite a couple of problems to think about first before this feature could happen. -- This is an issue notification from bitbucket.org.
