The TortoiseHg UI displays a progress widget at bottom left of the screen, with
exactly the words "Refresh status..." in it. I don't know how else to describe
it.

This is in function refreshWctx - what is a Wctx?

Thanks - I checked, and all repos in my registry definitely exist...

It's local...

That's useful to know. On the other hand, we've seen it on several very fast
machines. (It's one repo of 93,000 changesets with one sub-repo of 6,900
changesets)
I was going to tell you that we definitely had turned "eol" off... But this
turned out not always be the case - for circumstances I just described in
"TortoiseHg not always honouring eol settings"

However, I'd still like to understand what causes "Refresh status..." to be
displayed, for best performance...
