automatic camera rotation for optimal use of screen space

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'we got a repository where the big branches are ending up on the top and 
bottom, but I'm displaying it on a widescreen aspect ratio, so the branches 
are crowding the top/bottom of the screen while there's all this unused 
space out to the sides.

It'd be neat if the camera could sense this and rotate accordingly.

Hi. Yeah I agree that would be cool. I had a look at doing this, but ended up 
just
adding rotation using the mouse as that was a much smaller change.

I've sort of implemented this in the development version.

If the directory bounds become portrait the view will rotate clockwise until it
returns to a rectangular ratio.
