WinCVS has a 'flatten' mode, which lists all of the files underneath the
current directory. It is also nice to allow you to see what files have
changed, and need to be committed.

Agreed, also very useful with the flatten mode.

Actually, I was thinking about the "commit" functionality, and probably
commit should pull up a window with all of the files that are going to
be committed, and allow you to select what you do/don't want, which
would make partial commits easy to do. You probably should also be able
to get the delta to see what is really going on, and if I was *really*
nice, you could select individual hunks for commit, but that is
definitely on the TODO list, but not implemented right away. :)

Right, I still need to figure out how to display related branches, keep
track of them, etc.

When you say "display names" are you saying aliases? So that when I
"register" a related branch, it gives me the opportunity to name it
something meaningful to me.
