Nice. Thanks for doing this. I used to use the vim plugin that did this,
but the locking changes that came with dirstate broke that. I would like
this option to be included. The changes look quite non-intrusive, but I
have not tried it, and they will need a test or two to be included.

What would the feelings be about providing a configuration option for
this? Is it preferred to just use aliases to do this sort of thing?

Thanks,

James
