This is a svn mailing list, not a tortoise list.  What is the difference?

Svn is the product.  Works great, has an 1980's era  interface.  Cumbersome to 
use.  Has great support and a manual.
Tortoise is a wrapper for svn.  It is a modern interface that does not keep up 
with the operating systems it runs on nor does it allow all the capabilities of 
svn.

Tortoise doesn't display the check marks on windows 7 either.  Tortoise is a 
great concept, providing  a modern interface for a powerful tool, however, it 
is not being kept up to date as it should.

You have two choices:

1)      Use svn "as-is" and gets all its power but be ready to do a lot of 
typing.

2)      Use tortoise and get a modern interface that is lacking.

Subject: Windows 8 Tortoise SVN --- missing green check marks

Hello,

I am new to using SVN for sw-dev, so if I am doing something silly or posting 
in the wrong place, please say so kindly...

I have just installed Tortoise SVN on a Windows 8 machine, to be used for Unity 
and Oculus development.

I checked out the SVN of the company I have just joined into a local folder on 
my PC to work on.

I understand every file/directory in a working copy should have a green check 
mark in its bottom left corner, indicating that it is unchanged from the 
version in the repository.

But none of my checked out files/folders in my working copy directory has that. 
Is it normal in Win 8 or have I done something wrong here?

Thank you,
