Well, hey, I don't care there's no TortoiseGit. I looked at these

things back when I had colleagues stuck on Windows, and at the time

wanted to try and wean them off SVN.
The shell-icon overlay limit on Windows looked a significant problem

to me, and a good reason for at least re-using that bit of code (which

is common to even tortoiseCVS). It looked like it had been through a

significant number of iterations to get platform shell subtleties

right.
I even looked at wacky things, like using IKVM.Net and JGit to hack it

quickly, but that's a non-starter because of MS' stupid

one-clr-per-process.
That's what I found. Maybe it'll be useful for anyone else that wants

to continue. Since it's not an itch for me any more, and it won't feed

my children, until someone that cares enough does something there

won't be one.
