I took the first steps towards making Explorer workflow aware on the
weekend. When you open a branch and see the status, a "What's next?"
section now appears at the end if there are changes:

* if there are conflicts, it suggests resolving them
* if there are unversioned items, it suggests adding them, ignoring
  them or deleting them
* if there are neither of these but changes or pending merges, it
  suggests diff or commit.

A small start but it works really nicely IMO. Extending it to other
parts of the UI shouldn't be hard. Next weekend maybe. :-)
