Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2010-07-05 12:01:10 EDT 
I was putting EGit through the ringer recently and noticed that if we clone a large Git repository we hang the UI a bit while we wait for the clone to complete. This is because we run the progress through the wizard's progress monitor which I think is less than ideal. We should simply close the wizard and launch a backround job that the use can dismiss if he wants. A good test case for this would be the GDB repo...
