Is there a way to exclude {ignore-on-commit} changes from TortoiseSVN Explorer icon decorations?

Question

TortoiseSVN shows icon decorations in Windows Explorer which show whether there are any uncommitted changes in a particular directory tree. For example:

The above image shows that somewhere in the directory tree of Trunk there is a changed file.

However, I often use the ignore-on-commit changelist to hold changes which I never want to commit - for example Web.config changes related to connection strings.

I cannot rely on the icon decorations letting me know whether I have changes, as they will also show up with a red (!) even if there's only Web.config changes. This adds unnecessary noise to Explorer.

Is there a way to change this so that only changes I want to commit are flagged as changes in Explorer?

Is there a way to change this

No. Icon overlays work

• for all files
• by the same manner
• always

Answer 2

I recently upgraded to TortoiseSVN version 1.8.3 (I was using 1.7.x before) and it appears that there is now an option to do exactly this! It works perfectly.
