Hi,

what I do:
I check out a working copy of a repository on my local computer. The repository moves to a different location with a different URL. I right-click the working copy and go to 'Repo-browser' (for example in order to check which URL the working copy is pointing to). The window 'Repository Browser' opens.

What I expect to happen:
The URL textbox shows a URL. I see a message after a few seconds telling me that the URL cannot be reached. I might be given a few possible reasons why this might happen, like 'repository moved', 'network error', ... I can close the window by clicking the X (thus stopping the process of reaching the repository) at any time during this process. Maybe there is a 'Cancel' button as well, which gives me a second way of canceling and closing the window.

What actually happens:
The message 'Please wait while the repository browser is initializing...' is shown. The URL-textbox is empty. I cannot close the window by clicking the X in the top-right corner. The window seems to be entirely unresponsive and non-closable. After clicking the X multiple times and waiting for multiple (at least five) minutes, the message is changed to 'User cancelled' and I can click 'OK' or X to close the window.

Regards,
Thomas
