Thanks to Roman for the great demo on Subversion integration in
development. I look forward to better Subversion support in NetBeans.

I have a suggestion on the UI of this new feature, so hopefully this
list is more appropriate than nbdev.

I noticed that a project on a Branch looks the same as the main Trunk
until a file is changed. In the projects tab I would find it very
helpful to have the grey text " [branch_name]" appended. This would be
the similar to the text that appears next to file names that have been
modified and are no longer in sync with the repository, so hopefully
this is an easy to implement nicety. 

Presuming the icon next to the project name is different when under
version control (as compared to a project not associated with any
version control), I don't think any text should be added when the main
Subversion trunk is selected, only if this is a branch. This will avoid
too much clutter.
