I can live with the simple option, but I'd like to have the combobox. Maybe
I'm overdoing it here, but since the "out of date" error and maybe others
have moved to the progress dialog I'd like to have this more configurable.
Currently we have two gui elements that allow us to configure three options.
I'm voting for one gui element that allows us to configure three or four
options.
My personal preference (lazyness) is:
- I don't want to close the dialog after an update when there are only blue
lines (90% case)
- I want to see the dialog when conflicts (3%)
- or errors occured (2%)
- I'd like to keep the dialog open when merges have taken place (5%)
That's why I vote for the combobox.

Just checked what TortoiseCVS is doing. They've got a combobox with the
following three options:
- close manually
- close if no messages
- close if no errors

Cheers
