Description

On large projects, doing operations such as creating a new branch may take longer than the UI for version control waits for. However, the operation is still being done on the backend.

This result is an 'error' message that implies the operation is no longer running.

@zachpeterpaul Mentioned we do check for progress on merge operations and show the dialogue box on an Editor refresh and we just need to apply this to the other operations as well.
