title: How to get icon overlays with git-extensions
body: <p>I have been using svn for quite some time now. But now I have shifted to git. As per my findings Tortoise Git does not provide you with a good understanding of how git works, that's why I picked git-extensions. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I am used to the overlay icons that Tortoise used to provide me. I really want them while using git. I am not really sure about how we can get these overlays in git-extensions. Can some one tell me how can I get these overlays back on my system? </p>
  
  <p>PS: I don't want to use Tortoise since, it hides the core concept/working of git. Also, my operating system is windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>I am open to other GUI options also, provided they help me understand how git works.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I am using Tortoise with Git extensions. Which is kind of clumsy.</p>
