Re: Patches improving tree view (multi-root and auto-follow)

[Mattias Eriksson <snaggen acc umu se>]

The downside with this variant is that you loose space for the tree, add
another root and loose a little more space. Another downside with this
and the previous patch is that you cant just drag and drop files between
roots.
I realize that just having the roots in a tree might cause a pain when
wanting to find stuff when all roots are expanded, but I still think it
might be the way to do it... but what do I know :-)
