nitpicking.
When I get the credentials dialog during a fetch, the progress status tells me auth failed.  I think it should either say, "prompting for credentials" or just keep the previous status.

Since dojo fades the page this is not a big deal.  If it's easy to fix (like set the status only if the user cancels the dialog) then great.

I absolutely detest it when web UIs indicate some failure case when the true answer is "I don't know".
Comment 2 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-01-16 11:42:22 EST 
I find this more annoying now than it used to be because the error causes the operations popup to flash on and off just before the credentials dialog comes up.
Comment 3 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-01-17 12:23:04 EST 
another problem is that "auth fail" shows up in the operations history even though a failure never occurred from the users point of view.
Comment 4 Szymon Brandys CLA 2012-01-18 05:45:28 EST 
Now all "auth fail" are removed from the ops view, when the operation is redone. There is only one more issue. When Git Fetch or other Git operations ask for credentials,  "auth fail" should be removed immediately when the credentials dialog is shown. At the moment "auth fails" is removed when Git op is redone with credentials (on clicking "ok" in the credential dialog).

Let's do it together with bug 368852.
