It would be nice to be able to hang SVN options off the various nodes.
 Not sure that requires GEF to do though. Given that rev graphs could
be huge, having a miniature version that can be navigated would also
be nice. Again, not sure these things require GEF.

Personally, I usually like to see these things put into Editors,
because that is the area of the UI where I want to see these. It also
is then relatively easy to have several of them open. A view would
probably be fine as well, and I think that is what a lot of other
people prefer.
