I think we should keep the overlays in place until we have a viable alternative. I would be ok with doing any necessary upkeep to the code to make it at least run as it does now (and maybe I am dense, but it seems to work fine for me, the few times I use it).
As for the alternative, I think a central integrated explorer window with different modes would be a nice thing. This is pretty much the current repository explorer. I don't know how this would look, but consider the following: The top part always shows the history, as it does currently. The bottom part can either show files/commit message/diff as it does now, *or* file tree as it looked on the selected history version/perhaps still commit message if things fit. Then we probably need a third option to display the working directory file browser, or at least a way to select it in the history viewer. Perhaps we should add a virtual working directory tree node, although that could be a bit annoying when you're just viewing history.
