It's intentional. Mercurial simply isn't fast enough for the purpose of overlay icons display. If you have a folder that house multiple mercurial repos (pretty common practice, I believe), it will take near infinite time to display the content of the folder, if we are to display the status of repo roots. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
