Comment (by cmlenz):

 1. I don't think putting the error message in the filters box is that
 great. The user can still check the filter and update… what happens in
 that case?
  2. The error should definitely be logged, including the stack trace
 (`exc_info=True`).
  3. Can we be sure that the `TracError` indeed means that the repository
 is ”temporarily unavailable”? I don't think so.

 So, how about logging the error, keeping the filter, and then not
 displaying the changeset events (obviously).

 Ideally, we would disable the filter checkbox, but that's not possible
 with the current `ITimelineEventProvider` API.
