I had some plans about a Subversion view, but gave up when I saw that
Apotheke (the cvs view) had to reimplement the list widget...

It would be really great if views could modify the list- and iconviews,
instead of replacing them. That way user view preferences would be
honoured, and you would need to write less code.

Here are my list of the most basic functions needed to do something
like TortoiseCVS (http://www.tortoisecvs.org/) without 
reimplementing the list/icon view

- filter the files to be displayed
- add columns, cell renderers and callbacks 
  to the list view
- hide columns
- replace cell renderers
- add items to the context menu
- add tabs to the file propery dialog
- hook into the file operation callbacks

 This should of couse be done without Bonobo...
