I'd like to be able to see CVS information directly in Nautilus as well
as using CVS commands, much like TortoiseCVS enables you to do in
Windows Explorer. The CVS-commands would be simple enough through
Nautilus scripts, but TortoiseCVS also tints file icons according to
status (in sync, edited... i imagine conflicts and added/removed files
also could have specific colours) and I'd also like to be able to see
branch/tag and version information e.g. by zooming. 

A couple of questions:
1. Would it be possible to add such a feature today in some plugin-ish
manner and if so: how?

2. Has this feature (or similar) been considered and rejected before and
if so, for what reasons?

3. Anybody working on a similar project atm?

If nothing else and the patch would be accepted, I would be happy to
contribute such a thing.
