SVN icon overlays not showing properly
svn, tortoisesvn
Solution
This is, unfortunately a quite common problem on Windows where the icons are either not updated or rather disappearing. I find it quite annoying. It usually is fixed by either refreshing the Windows folder (F5) or, by doing a SVN Clean up,
Right click on the folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Clean up...
Select Clean up working copy status
I have never been able to solve this permanently, this is only a work-around. Keeping TortoiseSVN on the latest version may or may not help.
Note that the clean up will only clean up your local working copy, it wont do anything to the actual repository. Its a safe operation.
Apparently this is not enough according to your comment. Do you have lots of other programs that are also using overlay icons? If so maybe you can find a solution in this thread: TortoiseSVN icons not showing up under Windows 7? The second most voted answer also deals with network drives etc. Its a good read.
Also, have you rebooted your computer after the install? From the TortoiseSVN FAQ:
You rebooted your PC of course after the installation? If you haven't please do so now. TortoiseSVN is a windows Explorer Shell extension and will be loaded together with Explorer.
...
Otherwise, try doing a repair install (and reboot of course).
Problem
I'm testing SVN. After the configuration, I can add/commit the files successfully. However, I can't see the status icons on the files and folders. Can anybody tell me why?
