Why does **TortoiseHg Overlay Icon Server** run in the background?
Created originally on Bitbucket by SamuelMarks (Samuel Marks)
I use a few different Tortoise distributions—including TortoiseGIT—but TortoiseHg is the only one which requires an {{{icon overlay}}} server to run in the background.
Is this an architecture design choice, or would it be possible to not run TortoiseHg eternally in the background?
