I'm fairly new to the Nautilus source (<0.5 hours of reading code) so
let me just be sure I understand you: do you mean writing a component so
that you can select "View as cvs" from the "View as" menu?
I'm not sure that is what I would like to do. As in TortoiseCVS
(http://www.wincvs.org/TortoiseCVS) I would like to browse files with
the file manager as usual and be able to tell files that are version
controlled from those who are not, without having to switch views all
the time. 
I guess that you could write a component which behaves exactly like
view-as-icons, with the added "cvs-effects", but that seems like
duplicating a lot of code, unless there is someway of using inheritance
between the components. 

What say you?
