TortoiseSVN: Show status of multiple working folders in parent folder

I have repository configured like this:

\Util_1
  \branches
  \tags
  \trunk
\Util_2
  \branches
  \tags
  \trunk
...

Now, on my local disk i have:

\dev   
  \Utils
    \Util_1
    \Util_2

In Util_xx folders are only trunks. If I enter the 开发者_StackOverflowUtils folder, TortoiseSvn shows status icons for each Util. Unfortunately, Utils folder that contain them doesn't have any status icon. It's not really a checkout folder so i can't see that there is something changed in it unless I enter it. Looking at it from Dev folder shows nothing about it. So it happened that I didn't checkin immediately and since I'm not regular developer for this repo, I forgot a file there for month.

Is there any way to make TortoiseSVN show cumulative status of child folders in parent folder?

Because Utils isn't a checkouted folder and doesn't contain .svn, you can't do anything with it using SVN.

You could install an svn server locally, set up a 'Utils' repo that you keep up to date with 'externals' links to each of the Util_1, Util_2, etc., ... and even then I don't know for sure if it would work because I don't know if TortoiseSVN shows the status of external children in the icon of the parent.

You should just change your folder hierarchy to align with your actual repository hierarchy. Like this:

\dev
  \Util_1
  \Util_2
  \Non-Util_Project_Repo

You should also change your process. If there is a project that you don't work on for a month at a time or longer, why are you keeping a working copy of it anyway?

---

No. For exactly the reason you gave ... TortoiseSVN knows nothing about Utils or dev since neither are working copies.

---

No. However, if Utils_1 and Utils_2 have a parent directory in your repository (see below), you could do a checkout of the entire Utils directory which would show the accumalated status. I would not advise this though, because checking out all branches and tags could get messy.

\Utils
  \Util_1
    \branches
    \tags
    \trunk
  \Util_2
    \branches
    \tags
    \trunk
...
