FYI, The upcoming release of Artifactory (available in RC now) comes with a light directory-style repository browsing mode and also has an improved ajax tree browsing by automatically compacting empty folders and using more relaxed node auto-expand behavior. Artifactory now also offers automatic unique snapshots removal (mentioned before), as well as improved backup features and full system state import export from/to a distributable zip format for easier future upgrades (ala JIRA/Confleuence).
