Not really. The repobrowser is also used to get URL's, e.g. in the
checkout dialog.

Patches are always welcome. But keep in mind, that if the repobrowser
is started from other dialogs to fill in URL's, the button then would
still have to be called "OK" and not "Close" - the same mess as with
the log dialog.
