Yeah, I doubt it would work too well. Obviously it would be some kind of
Show/Hide thing.

That might work, but I fear it would be a bit too unexpected for most

This would be a pretty radical change. I do not think any of these would
be qualified for 1.0. I assume you are doing this already, but I would
focus on fixing the immediate problems with your current approach so that
we can include in 1.0. Then take it from there.
It sounds like there are people working on Commit Sets in the Synch view,
and it is possible that would address some of these needs.
