the VS2010 process tries to access invalid paths, that seem to depend on SVN functionality ...

description

Having the latest VsTortoise Build 28 beta I realized, that the VS2010 process tries to access invalid, non existing paths ...
 
D:\usr\Shared\Development\...\Trunk\PLANT\...\abc.cpp\.svn\entries
 
This is very often as the NirSoft.net utility ProcessActivityView told. In 3 hours I could more than 1500 access errors (error code 0xc000003a (STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND))!
 
Perhaps this one reason for having the feeling that my VS2010 is slowing down?

VsTortoise does not include any file watcher or any other kind of listener system that is running in the background.

File/svn statuses are queried in two cases only:
  1. When any VsTortoise command gets executed
  2. When any popup menu is about to open where VsTortoise is integrated, to check which buttons should be disabled/enabled.
When VS2010 is slowing down, I recommend to disable or uninstall VsTortoise and check if it does any difference. I can hardly imagine it does, but who knows.

Hhm - I have a toolbar filled with VsTortoise commands, where the icons reflect the current state.

Could this cause this behavior?

I pointed at VsTortoise as reason for this invalid paths access, because I have no other addin or extension installed, which knows something about ".svn\entries" to be appended to a directory path, to access SVN information.

So - even if VsTortoise has no file watcher or listener, its icons reflect the current state of the just opened file, so I expect file or SVN information accesses!

yeah, that's a good hint! I'll take a look at this.
