Cleanup dialog

Hi Stefan,

The cleanup dialog contains 6 items:

* Clean up working copy status
* Revert all changes recursively
* Delete unversioned files and folders
* Delete ignored files and folders
* Refresh shell overlays

* Include externals

Of these, several are dangerous in that they can destroy work you have
done, and the one other safe option (refresh overlays) is at the
bottom of the list. I would prefer to see the dangerous ones grouped
separately and refresh overlays moved to the top and checked by
default (in 1.6 a cleanup always refreshed overlays without asking).
So the revised list might look like this:

* Clean up working copy status
* Refresh shell overlays

* Include externals

* Delete ignored files and folders
* Delete unversioned files and folders
* Revert all changes recursively

I'm not even sure that revert should be there at all. The manual says
that we advise against using it here as there is no option to see what
will be reverted. Is it here by specific request? If it needs to be
there maybe it could be replaced with a "Revert..." button which
brings up the revert dialog.

Simon
