The same error happens in differential, when you have a renamed file. You get the message "This file was changed only by adding or removing whitespace. Show File Contents", and clicking Show File Contents throws this error (in core.pkg.js line 333).

A separate form won't work. Chrome autofills into both forms.

@swisspol: Consensus seems to be that modern browsers have stopped respecting any instructions to disable password autocomplete.

I imagine we'll end up shoving hidden password fields in forms to work around this, but yeuch.

I see. It would still be nice to get notifications and links in that case (sharing and discussing work in progress code), but it's not a big deal.

Primarily I'd like to localize it, if people are writing commit messages in another language, it looks weird to add "fixes" or "references" in english. But it also seemed strange that you can configure this for statuses, but not for refs.

When you commit and include "refs T42" in the commit message, it shows up in the task as "user added a commit: sha1". I'd like to change that refs prefix.

If the form or the password field has autocomplete=off, Firefox won't autofill the fields on page load, but will show autocomplete suggestions, and will autofill the password field once you select the suggested remembered username (or enter it manually) in the text field above the password field.
Without autocomplete=off, it autofills on page load, like Chrome.

Chrome has started ignoring autocomplete=off in 34, and it autocompletes into the first password field with a text field above it that it can find. The only workaround is to insert a dummy text and password field above the real ones, and make them display:none. Chrome will fill them with your username and password and leave the real ones alone.
