Good argumentation Mark, now I'm convinced that in this case we should
name it as a "staged version" ... or maybe rather "index version",
because this particular file wasn't staged before.

I'm thinking about situation when user launch synchronization from
"Team -> Synchronize..." and in synchronization-dialog selects
"include local uncommitted changes in comparison". Then (if he have
any local changes) he would see "<working tree>" node and
"<staged changes>" node (if he add something to index).
Now the question was how should be described right hand side editor
in compare view when user would like to compare locally changed file
with his version in repository. Should be named "staged version" or
"<last commit author> <last commit sha-1>"?
