Hm, following up on that.

I just noticed that the 'VCS changes' tool view already does what we want.

Why don't we just merge the 'VCS changes' tool view with the project manager 
view? E.g. keep the project manager view as-is, and add a 'VCS status' column to the 
project manager view.

Idea:
- For the root project item -> show branch name / indicate if it is modified
- For folder/file -> indicate if it is modified

I'd spent some time on this if you like the idea.

Cheers
