Tortoise SVN doesn't show those green , red , yellow icons - Windows 2008

Question

Tortoise SVN doesn't show those green , red , yellow icons when the files changed that are under source control, I can see them in windows XP but not on Windows 2008. But when I right click and try to commit, it gives me a list of files that are changed. Any idea why/fix?

Answer 1

Did you recently upgrade TortoiseSVN from a previous version? Do a repair installation to restore your icons.

There is another workaround to solve this problem if a repair installation doesn't fix the issue. See the UPDATE section of this other answer on Stack Overflow for more details. Here is a MSDN blog post explaining the problem in detail if you're curious.
