I've recently installed a fresh win8 copy. After installing tortoiseSVN, it does recognize the folders as being under version control (the menu items are there), but no overlays on the icons. I Checked the registry settings as described here: TortoiseSVN icons not showing up under Windows 7 But the first 9 entries are all for tortoiseSVN and there are 4 others, so no problems there. What could be the problem?
Just restart and even with Tortoise SVN client 1.7. 9 you'll see your SVN overlay icons under Windows 10 again.
Right click on a folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> Icon overlays -> Exclude paths: If there are green markers in the checked out subfolders you might have checked out into a subfolder of the folder you are looking at. There is also some caching issues with TortoiseSVN. TortoiseSVN -> Cleanup usually fixes those.
To update, select the files and/or directories you want, right click and select TortoiseSVN → Update in the explorer context menu. A window will pop up displaying the progress of the update as it runs. Changes done by others will be merged into your files, keeping any changes you may have done to the same files.
How do I uninstall TortoiseSVN? Simply uninstall from Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. This does not affect your repositories or working copies at all.
Go to regedit. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers. Add space before folders, example: "1TortoiseNormal" -> " 1TortoiseNormal". Restart computer. Works for me.
