That's sounds fine and easy to implement. My main design criteria here
is that we don't end up with lots of icons next to each file: just the
*frequently used* actions or actions a new user needs. I think that:

* an ignore icon on the unversioned items
* a commit icon on the added/modified/removed items

both meet that selection criteria.

For the complete shopping list od possible actions, a better UI IMO is
to have filtering by category on the WT browser and context/popup menus
implemented there.
