TortoiseHg's overlays are a completely separate implementation from
TSVN, we only share icons and overlay slots with them.

Our "staleness" problems all originate from the fact that the shell
extension is C++ and Mercurial is Python.  Synchronizing state between
them is not a deterministic process, thus the presence of the 'update
icons' feature.
