That's the one I thought would need some discussion first.
* should the differences be shown in the same dialog, or just behave as
e.g. the commit dialog (i.e. a doubleclick will start the diff tool)
* what should we do with multiple selections? If multiple files/folders
are selected to bring up the properties dialog, it will apply/edit the
properties to all the selected files/folders, but also only show those
properties which are the same on all selected files/folders. So: what
should we show if only one of the selected items differs?
* how to handle recursive property settings? The dialog only shows the
properties of the directly selected items.
