Are those two source files not part of your project? If they are, then they 
should be included in the file listing. I assume you sometimes edit them.

The Qt Creator ProParser code has some different error recovery mechanisms 
than qmake. Obviously it's going to be non-fatal to interact with a repository 
that is missing. It will also not run $$system() and do some other things that 
qmake would.
