The pre-0.7 process to (immediately) show a forward or back menu (i.e.
<Ctrl>click on the relevant button) is still available. Of course you may have
to do it twice if you can't correctly choose between forward or back.
It would be easy to create a combined menu, but I'm reluctant to use up screen
space with a button or something to attach such a menu to. And otherwise, where
to show the menu ?
The combobox dropdown is pretty useless for

I'm finding that I need to work a bit smarter, and log the directories that I
think I'll need again.
In svn now, and in the next release, it's always a conscious decision to log a
directory, and never just a by-product of a cd. <Enter> press in a dirline
doesn't always log the directory. That happens only when the path in the
dirline is already displayed in the pane. A sort-of double-<Enter>, I guess.
Double-click always works.
I probably should add an action to 'un-log' a directory (without clearing the
dirline too), ATM all we can do is clear it completely (<Alt><Del>).
