I've thought of the same for some time now. But there's a problem: a
split-pane view has one big disadvantage. You see, right now you can
select two files from two different folders (e.g. two different tags)
and do a diff of those two files. With a split-pane view, you could only
select two files if they're in the same folder.
Which basically means we'd loose an important feature of the repo browser.
