Good idea, but I wonder if we wouldn't be better off trying too keep compact and do this decoration in the first bar instead, either as an icon or just text. I only have 15 inches of preciousss screen space. Compare to what you did with the compare view in removing those unnecessary directory levels that really only wasted space. That was very good.

Another idea would be to allow the user to filter which branches and I think one could combine this indicator with that functionality through e.g. a poup menu. 

The green color on the indicator sugests something is "ok"?
