Comment:
  This would be sure nice to have but even with the C++ shell extension this 
would be painfully slow for any non-toy situation (I tried it). Consider having 
10 clones of netbeans or python-trunk in a dir A: this means stat-ing (i.e. 
checking file sizes and modification times) of 40'000 files each time you open 
A.

On another note, it might be possible to simply persistently cache the whole 
output of hg status into a private file in each repo (maybe ".hg/thgstatus"?) 
and just display what's in there. Question left would be: when would we update 
the thgstatus file and what about disks (e.g. flashs drives) that should not be 
written to? A simple solution would be to add an "update icons" command to the 
context menu, but then imagine having to do that for all 10 clones in the 
directory A mentioned above... Sigh, quite a couple of problems to think about 
first before this feature could happen.
