Sorry Stefan, but the reality in small teams which have to work under
pressure is different: I am very sure that nobody puts an instruction of
hidden submenus of a tool on a company website. And if they do, this
site will never been found at the case when it is needed.
Please dont't make hidden magic shift click options! (Have enough of
them on my Vista Laptop).
I think Nathan's idea of an "Working Copy Administration" submenu is
much more user friendly.
