Radio buttons need more space than a combobox like 4 lines versus 1 line

How would you define 'no errors'? Maybe there's some information I'd like to
have, which is not an error. Conflicts are no errors, neither are successful
merges.
Basically we 'need' only two options. 1) 'close never' and 2) 'don't close
when user action is required'.
I split up 2) in three points to come up with four in total, sorted in order
of message importance.
2a) don't close on merges (because then I can check in the progress dialog
which files have been modified by someone else and may require a review)
2b) don't close on conflicts (what we have right now)
2c) don't close on errors (I believe we should never close the progress
dialog if an error has occured)
