Yes, this looks good. You've deciphered quite a lot!

AFAIK the only way to do this is to run "cvs -n update" and look for 
"U" entries. One complication is that you may have to include
"M" entries too.

The other complication is that there are really two outdated states,
depending on whether the local file is modified or not.

How about making this a normal button and connecting it to a method
which will do the "cvs -n update" parsing and update the state of
the affected elements?

Part of the problem is perhaps that the cvs view was designed mostly
as a commit reviewing interface. Thinking about this again, what you're
doing is quite ambitious :)

BTW have you looked at eclipses "synchronise" perspective. Very
nice indeed. I'd like to steal bits from it ;)
