It was already voted in, obviously by people who knew the backgrounds. 
Without the screenshots it isn't clear what the new icons were supposed 
to do.

Still, identical icons for different functions is bad.

I can't believe that this is the result of a team with usability in mind:
- a percentage of change is rather useless; every change must be 
processed in a workspace. Only the fact that something has changed is 
what you have to know
- colour coding for the type of changes is bad for the part of the 
population which has problems with colour vision. Never communicate 
something with colour alone is a big usability rule I was told
- colour coding is bad also if you need a "legende" to explain the meaning
- the action icons make it rather "full". The 
"page-with-magnifying-glass" icon is very strange here: it's mostly used 
for 'print preview' and sometimes for searching documents. From the 
patch I conclude that it must start the page module. Maybe a selector 
box with actions would be easier (also easy to expand without 
compromising the layout)?
