Currently when for example pulling changesets, the server just returns "true" in all cases, and the client does not even check the return values.

Also, if the server fails globally (the uncaught exception handler in Server.js), then the user could be informed.

I believe the best approach for errors is to use an Ext dialog. Maybe the alert dialog in Ext. After all, errors should not go unseen or disappear automatically. We could, however, consider using just a log panel that displays errors without interrupting the user.
