I'm not sure but I think you might like how BitKeeper does it. Case in point, our tool for checking in changes. It doesn't have a file list of your entire repo, it has a file list of files that changed or are untracked. Seems like a little thing but until we came along it was all the explorer like stuff where you had to go find your changed files.
