At present, to interact with a remote Mercurial repository, I have to go through the menus. It's sometimes easier if I'm doing a lot of repo work to have Tortoise Hg Workbench open and use the toolbar buttons in there.

Could we have buttons in the toolbar in a section next to the existing commit button to:

1) Check for changes in the default repository
2) Pull from default
3) Check for changes to go out to default
4) Push to default

please?

2) and 4) are particularly important - with a sufficiently intelligent implementation, 1) and 3) could be periodically updated status indicators, with a manual refresh on click.
