How are you dealing with Windows' low limit on icon\noverlay handlers? TortoiseSVN already hits the system limit, hence\ntheir development of TortoiseOverlay to provide a common icon overlay\nhandler for all the Tortoise* projects. Have you gotten GitExtensions\nto work side-by-side with TortoiseSVN?
