Forked off #104

It would be good to allow users to create folders and move local repositories in them when needed. It used to be possible in the early (POC) version of coArchi but has been remove after.

This would allow users to better organize their local list of clones (I know some people who have more than 50 local models in their workspace).

Comment from @Phillipus :

We need the organisation that we have in jArchi.

Agree

How about making the Collaboration Workspace a Tree of Groups and aliases to repositories, as SmartGit does it? Similar to the Models Tree which references model files.

A repository can exist anywhere on the file system
A repository in the tree is a reference to the repository folder
A Group is a virtual folder containing other Groups and aliases to repositories

Thinking this would be more suited to coArchi 2.

Fully implemented in coArchi2 now. It works and it's nice. ;-)
