background operations

Hi,

   It seems that svn performance can be much worse comparing to CVS.

   I noticed that current implementation of "SVN Repository" View
(probably should be named "SVN Repositories" as it representing multiple
repos and to match with similar CVS view) is fetching data from CVS in a
main UI thread.

   So, on slow connection (or slow SVN server, including SVN over https
proxy) even if you just click expand on some node in repos view the
whole Workbench window freezes until data is returned from the server.
It would be great to run all data fetch in a separate thread, so user
can continue working and browsing code during this time.

   Thanks.
