Leaving this as is for 0.8.1 seems like a good choice.

All that's needed to disable the overlay icons for
a repo then is open the file .hg/thgstatus with an editor and
replace its contents with the string "@@noicons" and save.

There is no danger in editing that file as it contains only
cache info that can be quickly rebuilt.

Just remember that thgtaskbar.exe will try to rewrite that
file on various occasions, so there might occur some write
contention depending on user actions if you leave .hg/thgstatus
open in the editor (at least, until "@@noicons" has been
written to disk).

thgtaskbar.exe will strictly keep its fingers off from
.hg/thgstatus if it sees "@@noicons" inside it (thgtaskbar.exe
as of revision d4bb3d7c4d60 always reads first before updating).

To enable the overlay icons again for the repo, just delete
the file .hg/thgstatus and hit the F5 key (the equivalent of
"refresh" in the context menu) or do an "update icons" -- in
case that doesn't help.

As already mentioned, "update icons" will not update icons
of repos having "@@noicons" in .hg/thgstatus.
