Feature request: Additional columns in Repo-Browser (again)

Hi,

We would like to implement simple life cycles with Subversion. Our
first idea was to use properties. To support this conveniently we would
like to see them in the Repo-Browser as additional columns.

I found a similar request
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=1079
concerning both the Windows-Explorer context menu and the Repo-Browser.
For our needs I would be sufficient to have such a configuration
possibility in the Repo-Browser. The idea is to create a registry key
e.g. "AdditionalRepoColumns", below that key a set of keys with the
names of the additional properties and below those keys a list of URLs
for those the properties are only shown, e.g.

AdditionalRepoColumns
- PropertyName1
  - URL1
  - URL2
  - ...
- PropertyName2
...

I know that there would be more requests to the server. But users could
decide which properties to show and accepting a possible slowdown. The
other problem is how to show binary properties. Couldn't this be solved
by using the same Subversion algorithm to detect binary files? If a
property is binary then a note could be displayed instead of the value.

I know that there are application life cycle management solutions around,
but we would appreciate a lightweight solution in a GUI that is widely
accepted in our teams. And that is TortoiseSVN :-)

Thanks,
George
