I'm seeing a lot of silent failures from git-update-index on

means users are later unable to perform additional operations.
When the index is locked behind our back and we are unable to

and try again. However our UI state is probably not currect
as we have assumed that some changes were applied but none of
them actually did. A rescan is the easiest (in code anyway)
solution to correct our UI to show what the index really has

If the user tries to clone a Git repository that is actually a
workdir of another repository (by way of contrib git-new-workdir)

On Windows its better to use a shortcut (.lnk file) over a batch
script (.bat) as we can specify the icon file for the .lnk and
thus have these git specific objects appear on the desktop with
that git specific icon file.
Unfortunately the authors of Tcl did not bless us with the APIs
needed to create shortcuts from within Tcl. But Microsoft did
give us Windows Scripting Host which allows us to execute some
JavaScript that calls some sort of COM object that can operate
on a .lnk file.
We now build both Cygwin and non-Cygwin "desktop icons" as proper
Windows .lnk files, using the "Start in" property of these files
to indicate the working directory of the repository the user wants

Only repositories that are opened through the repository chooser

We now place all of the commands related to fetching and pushing of

Henrik came up with this alternative logo for gitweb and posted
it on his blog:
http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/06/alternative-git-logo-and-favicon
The msysGit port uses his logo within some of their components,
and frankly it looks better here in git-gui for our repository
setup wizard screen. The logo fits quite nicely along the left
edge of our window, leaving significantly more vertical space
for things like the git-fetch console output.
Because the logo changes the layout charateristics of the setup
window I also needed to adjust some of the padding for our widgets
and stop using a fixed width window size. We now let Tk compute
the correct size of the main window whenever the layout changes,
and drop the window into roughly the upper left 1/3 of the desktop
so its not quite centered but is likely to be far enough away from
any sort of task bars/menu bars/docks that the user may have along

If we have added a scrollbar to the console window because one

If the console finishes displaying its output and is "done" but

is possible for Tk to delete the window namespace before it does
the text widget updates, which means we are unable to add the
horizontal or vertical scrollbar to the window when the text
widget decides it cannot draw all glyphs on screen.
We need to delay deleting the window namespace until we know
the window is not going to ever be used again. This occurs if
we are done receiving output, the command is successful and the
window is closed, or if the window is open and the user chooses
to close the window after the command has completed.

If the source repository is using an objects/info/alternates file
we need to copy the file to our new repository so that it can access
any objects that won't be copied/hardlinked as they are stored in the
alternate location.
We explicitly resolve all paths in the objects/info/alternates as
relative to the source repository but then convert them into an
absolute path for the new clone. This allows the new clone to
access the exact same locaton as the source repository, even if
relative paths had been used before.
Under Cygwin we assume that Git is Cygwin based and that the paths
in objects/info/alternates must be valid Cygwin UNIX paths, so we
need to run `cygpath --unix` on each line in the alternate list.

need to wait for both the NT overheads and the network.

If we are started outside of a git repository than it is likely
the user started us from some sort of desktop shortcut icon in
the operating system. In such a case the user is expecting us to
prompt them to locate the git repository they want to work on,
or to help them make a new repository, or to clone one from an
existing location. This is a very simple wizard that offers the
user one of these three choices.
When we clone a repository we always use the name `master` in the
local repository, even if the remote side does not appear to point
to that name. I chose this as a policy decision. Much of the Git
documentation talks about `master` being the default branch in a
repository and that's what git-init does too. If the remote side
doesn't call its default branch `master` most users just don't care,
they just want to use Git the way the documentation describes.
Rather than relying on the git-clone Porcelain that ships with
git we build the new repository ourselves and then obtain content
by git-fetch. This technique simplifies the entire clone process
to roughly: `git init && git fetch && git pull`. Today we use
three passes with git-fetch; the first pass gets us the bulk of
the objects and the branches, the second pass gets us the tags,
and the final pass gets us the current value of HEAD to initialize
the default branch.
If the source repository is on the local disk we try to use a
hardlink to connect the objects into the new clone as this can
be many times faster than copying the objects or packing them and
passing the data through a pipe to index-pack. Unlike git-clone
we stick to pure Tcl [file link -hard] operation thus avoiding the
need to fork a cpio process to setup the hardlinks. If hardlinks
do not appear to be supported (e.g. filesystem doesn't allow them or
we are crossing filesystem boundaries) we use file copying instead.

Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string
"FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to
the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto
the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here.
Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default
joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call
sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need
a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty
join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function.
Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable
name to use here.

The dialog offers the user a scrolling list of fonts in a pane.
An example text shows the user what the font looks like at the size
they have selected. But I have to admit the example pane is less

I'd still like to resolve the SHA-1 upfront in git-gui and always use

However by not loading the remote configuration we were crashing

If we are being asked to merge a tracking branch that comes from a
remote repository accessed by the very common SSH URL format of
"user@host:/path/to/repo" then we really don't need the username
as part of the merge message, it only clutters up the history and
makes things more confusing. So we instead clip the username part
off if the local filesystem path is absolute, as its probably not
going to be an ambiguous URL even when it is missing the username.
On the other hand we cannot clip the username off if the URL is
not absolute, because in such cases (e.g. "user@host:myrepo") the
directory that the repository path is resolved in is relative to
the user's home directory, and the username becomes important.

If we are merging a tracking branch we know exactly what remote URL
that branch is fetched from, and what its name is on that remote

just like a standard `git-pull $remote $branch` operation by filling
out FETCH_HEAD before we start git-merge, and then run git-merge just
like git-pull does.
I think the result of this behavior is that merges look a lot nicer

instead now mention the specific repository we fetched those commits

If we can we now show the last modification date of a loose ref as
part of the tooltip information shown in the revision picker. This
gives the user an indication of when was the last time that the ref
was modified locally, and may especially be of interest when looking
at a tracking branch.
If we cannot find the loose ref file than we try to fallback on the
reflog and scan it for the date of the last record. We don't start
with the reflog however as scanning it backwards from the end is not
an easy thing to do in Tcl. So I'm being lazy here and just going
through the entire file, line by line. Since that is less efficient
than a single stat system call, its our fallback strategy.

Our revision chooser mega-widget now sets up tooltips for itself so
that it displays details about a commit (or a tag and the commit

ref list. If the item is from a remote tracking branch then we also
show the remote url and what branch on that remote we fetch from, so
the user has a clear concept of where that revision data originated.
To help the merge dialog I've also added a new constructor that
makes the dialog only offer unmerged revisions (those not in HEAD),
as this allows users to avoid performing merges only to get "Already

If we are checking out the branch we are already on then there is no
need to call symbolic-ref to update the HEAD pointer to the "new"
branch name, it is already correct.
Currently this situation does not happen very often, but it can be
seen in some workflows where the user always recreates their local
branch from a remote tracking branch and more-or-less ignores what
branch he/she is on right now. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
This case will however become a tad more common when we overload
checkout_op to actually also perform all of our merges. In that
case we will likely see that the branch we want to "checkout" is
the current branch, as we are actually just merging into it.

My earlier introduction of the GITGUI_BCK file (which saves the user's
commit message buffer while they are typing it) broke the Quit function.
If the user makes a commit we delete the GITGUI_BCK file; if they then
immediately quit the application we fail to rename the GITGUI_BCK file
to GITGUI_MSG. This is because the file does not exist, but our flag
still says it does. The root cause is we did not unset the flag during
commit.

If we are trying to checkout a local branch which is matched to a
remote tracking branch, but the local branch is newer than the remote
tracking branch we actually just want to switch to the local branch.
The local branch is "Already up to date".
Unfortunately we tossed away the local branch's commit SHA-1 and kept
the remote tracking branch's SHA-1, which meant that the user lost the
local changes when we updated the working directory. At least we did
not update the local branch ref, so the user's data was still intact.
We now toss the tracking branch's SHA-1 and replace with the local
branch's SHA-1 before the checkout, ensuring that we pass of the right

This is actually just an underlying code improvement that has no user

- local tracking branch name

If we are given a merge type we don't understand in checkout_op there

In both the ff and reset merge_types supported by checkout_op the

A few users have been seeing crashes in Tk when using the undo key
binding to undo the last few keystroke events in the commit buffer.
Unfortunately that means the user loses their commit message and
must start over from scratch when the user restarts the process.
git-gui now saves the user's commit message buffer every couple of
seconds to a temporary file under .git (specifically .git/GITGUI_BCK).
At exit time we rename this file to .git/GITGUI_MSG if there is a
message, the file exists, and it is currently synchronized with the
Tk buffer. Otherwise we do our usual routine of saving the Tk buffer
to .git/GITGUI_MSG and delete .git/GITGUI_BCK, if it exists.
During startup we favor .git/GITGUI_BCK over .git/GITGUI_MSG. This
way a crash doesn't take out the user's message buffer but instead
will cause the user to lose only a few keystrokes. Most people do
not type more than 200 WPM, and with 30 possible saves per minute
we are unlikely to lose more than 7 words.

I'm working on refactoring the UI of the merge dialog, because as it
currently stands the dialog is absolutely horrible, especially when
you have 200+ branches available from a single remote system.
In that refactoring I plan on using the choose_rev widget to allow
the user to select exactly which branch/commit they want to merge.
However since that only selects a single commit I'm first removing
the code that supports octopus merges.
A brief consultation on #git tonight seemed to indicate that the
octopus merge strategy is not as useful as originally thought when
it was invented, and that most people don't commonly use them. So
making users fall back to the command line to create an octopus is
actually maybe a good idea here, as they might think twice before
they use it.

This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between
branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like
core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our
new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update
as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a
very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently).
Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we
use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool)
to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local
branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of
the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge
repositories.
Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option

Likewise we also now allow the user to reset the local branch if

Its handy to be able to ask an object to do something for you by
handing it a subcommand. For example if we want to get the value
of an object's private field the object could expose a method that
would return that value. Application level code can then invoke
"$inst get" to perform the method call.
Tk uses this pattern for all of its widgets, so we'd certainly
like to use it for our own mega-widgets that we might develop.
Up until now we haven't needed such functionality, but I'm working
on a new revision picker mega-widget that would benefit from it.
To make this work we have to change the definition of $this to
actually be a procedure within the namespace. By making $this a
procedure any caller that has $this can call subcommands by passing
them as the first argument to $this. That subcommand then needs
to call the proper subroutine.
Placing the dispatch procedure into the object's variable namespace
ensures that it will always be deleted when the object is deleted.

the index lock, rendering git-gui frozen until you restart it. We
now properly release the index lock when the Cancel button is used.

git-gui: Don't require a .pvcsrc to create Tools/Migrate menu hack
git-gui: Don't nice git blame on MSYS as nice is not supported
git-gui: Don't require $DISPLAY just to get --version
Johannes Sixt reported that MinGW/MSYS does not have a nice.exe to
drop the priority of a child process when it gets spawned. So we
have to avoid trying to start `git blame` through nice when we are
on Windows and do not have Cygwin available to us.

The blame viewer is composed of two different areas, the file
area on top and the commit area on the bottom. If users are
trying to shift the focus it is probably because they want to
shift from one area to the other, so we just setup Tab and
Shift-Tab to jump from the one half to the other in a cycle.

Because Tk does not assure us the order that it will process
children in before it destroys the main toplevel we cannot safely
save our geometry data during a "bind . <Destroy>" event binding.
The geometry may have already changed as a result of a one or
more children being removed from the layout. This was pointed
out in gitk by Mark Levedahl, and patched over there by commit
b6047c5a81.
So we now also use "wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW" to detect when
the window is closed by the user, and forward that close event to
our main do_quit routine.

Earlier git.git applied a large "war on whitespace" patch that was
created using 'apply --whitespace=strip'. Unfortunately a few of
git-gui's own files got caught in the mix and were also cleaned up.
That was a6080a0a44.
This patch is needed in git-gui.git to reapply those exact same
changes here, otherwise our version generator script is unable to
obtain our version number from git-describe when we are hosted in
the git.git repository.

The main window's diff header bar background switched from orange
to gold recently, and I liked the effect it had on readability of
the text. Since I wanted the blame viewer to match, here it is.
Though this probably should be a user defined color, or at least
a constant somewhere that everyone can reference.

Usually when you are looking at blame annotations for a region of
a file you are more interested in why something was originally
done then why it is here now. This is because most of the time
when we get original annotation data we are looking at a simple
refactoring performed to better organize code, not to change its
semantic meaning or function. Reorganizations are sometimes of
interest, but not usually.
We now show the original commit data first in the tooltip. This
actually looks quite nice as the original commit will usually have an
author date prior to the current (aka move/copy) annotation's commit,
so the two commits will now tend to appear in chronological order.
I also found myself to always be clicking on the line of interest
in the file column but I always wanted the original tracking data
and not the move/copy data. So I changed our default commit from
$asim_data (the simple move/copy annotation) to the more complex
$amov_data (the -M -C -C original annotation).

It feels wrong to call the -M -C -C annotations "move/copy tracking"
as they are actually the original locations. So I'm relabeling
the status bar to show "copy/move tracking annotations" for the
current file (no -M -C -C) as that set of annotations tells us who
put the hunk here (who moved/copied it). I'm now calling the -M
-C -C pass "original location annotations" as that's what we're
really digging for.
I also tried to clarify some of the text in the hover tooltip.

To prevent neighboring lines that are different commits from using
the same background color we now use 3 colors and assign them
by selecting the color that is not used before or after the line
in question. We still color "on the fly" as we receive hunks from
git-blame, but we delay our color decisions until we are getting
the original location data (the slower -M -C -C pass) as that is
usually more fine-grained than the current location data.
Credit goes to Martin Waitz for the tri-coloring concept.

When the user clicks on a commit link within one of the columns
in the blame viewer we now jump them not just to that commit/file
pair but also to the line of the original file. This saves the
user a lot of time, as they don't need to search through the new
file data for the chunk they were previously looking at.
We also restore the prior view when the user clicks the back button
to return to a pior commit/file pair that they were looking at.
Turned out this was quite tricky to get working in Tk. Every time
I tried to jump the text widgets to the correct locations by way
of the "yview moveto" or "see" subcommands Tk performed the change
until the current event finished dispatching, and then reset the
views back to 0, making the change never take place. Forcing Tk
to run the pending events before we jump the UI resolves the issue.

If we have commit data from both the simple blame and the
rename/move tracking blame and they differ than there is a
bigger story to tell. We now include data from both commits
so that the user can see that this link as moved, who moved
it, and where it originated from.

We now perform two passes over any input file given to the blame
viewer. Our first pass is a quick "git-blame" with no options,
getting the details of how each line arrived into this file. We
are specifically ignoring/omitting the rename detection logic as
this first pass is to determine why things got into the state they
are in.
Once the first pass is complete and is displayed in the UI we run
a second pass, using the much more CPU intensive "-M -C -C" options
to perform extensive rename/movement detection. The output of this
second pass is shown in a different column, allowing the user to see
for any given line how it got to be, and if it came from somewhere
else, where that is.
This is actually very instructive when run on our own lib/branch.tcl
script. That file grew recently out of a very large block of code
in git-gui.sh. The first pass shows when I created that file, while
the second pass shows the original commit information.

If the user clicks on a line region that we haven't yet received
an annotation for from git-blame we show them "Loading annotation".
But I don't want the user to confuse this loading message with a
commit whose first line is "Loading annotation" and think we messed
up our display somehow. Since we never use italics for anything
else, I'm going with the idea that italic slant can be used to show
data is missing/elided out at the time being.

Calling the commit message pane $w_cmit is a tad confusing when
we also have the $w_cgrp column that shows the abbreviated SHA-1s.
So w_cmit -> w_cviewer, as it is the "commit viewer"; and
w_cgrp -> w_amov as it is the "annotated commit + move tracking"
column. Also changed line_data -> amov_data, as that list is
exactly the results shown in w_amov.
Why call the column "move tracking"? Because this column holds
data from "git blame -M -C". I'm considering adding an additional
column that holds the data from "git blame" without -M/-C, showing
who did the copy/move, and when they did it.
