That's a good thing.  But I think that the top entry should be different.

I know. But as the more prominent issues are sorted out, minor things become more visible.

Sure, but I often want to see what changed in a particular file.

And of course I only mean the subwindow dislaying the files affected by the patch. The file tree should still have file annotation bound to the double click.
