It's a substantial hack to get working, but quite slick when installed,
it'll do everything on your list, except the 4th item. It's for 1.2
only, and will break cvs/1.3 completely. 

I had thought of making into a stand alone plugin, but there was never
much interest. So it'll probably be morphed into a patch for 1.3 once
that's released.
