Whenever you are connected to a VCS repository (say Git-based) and you modify a file, it would be quite nice to show a different icon and/or change the file font name (style, color, ...etc). This would made very easy to visually see what changes has been done in ones' project with no need to run commands like, in case of git, next:

 [musikolo@MyPC myproject]$ git status
# On branch development
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   mainwindow.cpp
#       modified:   mainwindow.h
#       modified:   reportviewhandler.cpp
#       modified:   reportviewhandler.h
#       modified:   taskrowviewhandler.cpp
#       modified:   taskrowviewhandler.h
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

In the above example, all those files would be highlighted.

Reproducible: Always
