if your compare-tool doesn't show any differences, then there really are no 
differences.
Also, the only way I can get a "normal (+)" status is by moving the parent 
folder and then merge that. And in that case, the files really haven't been 
modified.

Also: if you right-click on the list control header, you can select more 
columns, for example "text status" and "property status". Sometimes those 
can show more info.

Apart from that: I can't really show a "wrong" status here: if the svn lib 
reports the status as "normal", TSVN has to show exactly that. What I will 
do is change the color of an item with history, i.e. if the "(+)" is shown.

I'll update the docs a little bit.

Will do.
