It looks very cool (from the screenshot), however I could not run it. It
seems you do some stuff to scan for py files and import them
automatically to find VCS providers or something. The problem is that
you can just add stuff to the sys.path like that because it will break a
lot of other plugins that import things. You'll just need to use the
'from' part of the import function.

I'm not sure if we should distribute it with gedit, or with
gedit-plugins, but we can think about that. I haven't looked at the code
yet, but there will probably be some need for some cleanup, strings, and
maybe some other ideas I personally have that would be cool to integrate
in the plugin. Maybe we can discuss things a bit on IRC?
