Thanks for writing this. I may have a specific use for this, since I did
just convert a project that was in both CVS and Arch. The biggest
problem for me is that the two branches were synchronized periodically.
So I would both have to find the common ancestor, and figure out how to
handle when they were merged.

But the plugin itself is very nice to have.
