Usability Improvements
- "Updating index" should indicate that view is "busy"
- "Refresh" operation should indicate that view is "busy"
- Case insensitive order of remotes in push branch dialog
- Transparent icons in push branch dialog
- Make EGit Eclipse welcome page more consistent with other team providers

Performance Improvements
- Scalability: don't run incremental update if there are too many changes
- Scalability: label decorator should cache computed repository branch state. This heavily speeds up resource decoration for large repositories
