Bad job progress message

Copy the URL of an egit change to the clipboard.
Use the fetch from gerrit wizard on the jgit repo and immediately hit finish after it has opened.

Obviously the change cannot be fetched. However the error message being presented after the job finishes is not really helpful to detect that reason. It should be replaced by something like "Change with id ... not found in repository ..." or similar.

Additionally the job progress message is created from a null argument. 2 screenshots attached.
