These are all very valid points. However, the mockup was for demonstration
purposes only and by no means was meant to be an accurate final
representation of what the dialog or panel would look like.

Not only this, but I wanted *all* local operations to close as well as
anything that remotely did not have any deletes, adds, or merges, or
conflicts. If this can be achieved in 1.6 with the changes you've mentioned
then my problem is solved. However, I have to ask, how many people actually
email you asking for a specific auto-close setup? If you get a lot of these,
setting up auto-close settings like I've demonstrated in my mock-up would
provide support for *all* possible combinations and thus fixes any future
combination requests.
