It has been something on my radar for some time. Shouldn't be something 
too difficult to do.

While I like the idea in general, I have a question that I'd like to ask 
other git-gui users:

If we implement something like this, what happens when you single-click 
on the icon? Do we treat that as a stage/unstage command? If we keep the 
legacy behaviour of single-click on the icon stages/unstages, then a 
part of the row is single-click and the rest double-click.

If we make an entire row of the stage/unstage widget double click, it 
messes with people who are already used to it.

Is partial single and partial double click behaviour acceptable? Or 
should we make the entire row double click only? Or something else that 
I missed?
