This is one reason why I suggested to the devs that Timeline and Transcript 
don't really belong as browsing modes: you can't perform any useful application 
actions in these views, they really just provide accessory information. 
Cornerstone has separate views for these features, which I like.

The update sheet is occasionally an annoyance, but one easy workaround is to 
open a new window and browse to a different repository. (This doesn't help with 
interactions with the same repository, though.)
