Plugin capability

[maraf]

When we start adding extension points to GE, it may be valuable for the end user to see list of places the plugin is going to extend.

If we use something like MEF for managing extension points it will be easy to scan for exports and show a list of mapped user names for components.

Example:

"If you install plugin X, it will extend:"

• "Main menu of main window"
• "Context menu on selected commit"

User preferences

A more advanced implementation this feature would allow the user to select what he wants. For MEF-based implementation it would only be a stored map of "do not export this interface from the assembly".

Nice!
Though I wouldn't spend too much time on it at the moment

This connects to #6 by visualizing a plugin's extension points to the end user.
Might be a nice to have on the long run, but I do not really consider this a must have for the near future.
