I do still like the overlay icons but I have to say that I think what has been discussed with the built-in browser could be a great addition. Specifically the idea of being able to browse a particular revision without checking it out! I would certainly still expect to continue using the Explorer context menu (which I think it has been said would stick around) but as I realize what's intended I am starting to look forward to the addition of the browser. -kyle > > Your subject line says just "overlay icons"; but your list of gains seems > to indicate that direct Explorer Integration is a pain (I believe it) and > that this change would eliminate that pain.
