In the early days, the initial focus was on the tree-list control - back
then the repo browser only had one combined tree/list control and not a
separate tree and list control as it has now.
But then people complained that the focus should be on the drop down url
control, so we changed that.

Changing this again would not really help, since then the same people
would complain.
