Why do you think it's any more dangerous then the right-click import, if we
properly warn user about drag-drop target.

What if we provide dialog/message box that warns users about drop target?
Not the best solution but it may work ok for the time being (until new repo
browser is ready :)).

I guess we can also add warning box that the same log message will be used
for every imported file/folder, or just limit to a single file or folder
drag-drop and warn users about that.

When do you plan to start working on a new browser, and what approach do you
plan you take? Build browser as a stand alone app, or try to create shell
extension repo browser (something similar to webdrive), or something else.
