One option would be to load the library detecting the directory
type only once and never release it. One could also invent a
mechanism like 'directory can be viewed with part X if it contains
a file with a name foo', but if the only application for such a
thing is cvs, then it would be quite pointless ;-) Maybe in the
multimedia area there are similar needs, so one could learn from
it.
