Actually, that's pretty much exactly the format that Eclipse users  
will be expecting.

CVS: Add to .cvsignore
SVN: Add to svn:ignore

I suggest that we go with that style of format for the menu items, in  
order to achieve consistency with the way that the other team  
providers work.

Note also that the tooltip is usually much shorter than that ... it's  
not a full help description, it explains what it does.
