Oh yeah, I know it was user error that led to the exception. I
actually copy-pasted from the "Switch" dialog, I think. But I would
expect a more accessible error message in that case, and a clean break
instead of bringing up an empty log dialog, if it's not going to work.
Something like "Full path to repository required" instead of a very
technical uncaught exception message. Even better would be to disable
the buttons on the dialog which depend on the URL until there is a
valid URL entered. Exceptions with code line numbers should mostly
only happen in very unexpected situations. I fixed it by prepending
the http:// stuff like I should have to begin with, but the exception
message was surprising, and it says right in the message to post here.
