- Allow users to show server messages while pushing (bug 398387).
- Share project: Allow "Create Repository" even when a parent directory already contains a repository (bug 407190).
- Commit dialog: the file section can now be resized by hovering the mouse just above the file section title and dragging the sash up or down, making the message section increase/decrease accordingly (bug 343712).

- History view: Adjust column widths and don't show e-mail addresses by default to improve space use
- Improve error reporting for pull failures due to conflicts
