Tortoise SVN – High IO


Tortoise subversion control can sometimes get a bit carried away with it’s caching, so change the folowing to calm it down.

  • Open the settings, click “Icon Overlays”
  • In the exclude paths type C:\*
  • In the include paths type the path to your code workspace

That is all, then kill the Tortoise SVN cache process, when it restarts it will be less crazed.
