I don't think using 2 columns is a good idea. That would mean that one
needs to resize the column constantly when working on deeper tree's or
needs to scroll horizontally.

I think it would be better to attach decorations to the end of the items
text with a slightly different font. You'd put vcs icon info also on top of
the items icon and not in a separate column, right?

The link you posted suggests this should be relatively easy.
