How about adding a button/menu item to repo browser to start a second instance of
itself, passing a parameter to TProc which allows the two instances to
communicate with each other. That guarantees that they are looking at the same
repo and makes the feature visible.

4-pane view is used in ftp clients. But I agree that it takes a lot of space, so
maybe two separate 2-pane views is better.
