Very cool. You may want to look at the extension point in generic History view and contribute your own page instead of creating separate view for that. It would be also nice to be able to group resources by directory. Also, you can use the same action nam

Eugene, thanks for your comment.
I'll investigate your suggestion. I also have a bad feeling about the duplication. Grouping resources look like nice idea. ;) -
That's a very nice plugin. I wonder if it is possible to do this on CVS also.
