I thought it's better to use a doubleclick to avoid accidental clicks.
The group headers don't have a checkbox, which means the user can't see
immediately that a click really does something.

Use the checkbox below the file list "De/select all items", then select
the group items. I don't think another context menu entry is needed.
But I'm open to change this if people think that it's needed.

As long as there are changelists shown, the user can just select all
items of that changelist and use the context menu to remove those from
the changelist.
But I'm open to change this if people think that it's needed.

Also changed in revision 8643.
