On Windows using the native Tcl/Tk the copyright header is
being read from the script using the system encoding, which
may not be utf-8. This causes the multi-byte copyright symbol
(which is actually encoded as utf-8) to read as two characters
and not as a proper copyright symbol. Explicitly asking Tcl
to read this sequence of bytes as utf-8 corrects the issue.

If git-gui is started outside a work tree the repository chooser
will offer a list of recently opened repositories. Clicking on
any list entry directly opens the repository.
The list of recently opened repositories is stored in the config
as the multi-valued option gui.recentrepo. If the list grows beyond
10 entries it will be truncated by removing one of the older entries.
Only repositories that are opened through the repository chooser
will get added to the recent list. Repositories opened from the
shell will not yet be added to the recent list, as users are likely
to have a way to easily return to the same directory via their shell.

Using the new --null option added to git-config in git 1.5.3 we

This commit modifies PATH to include a good guess where git

the directory git-gui is installed in. This is a good guess for
a sane installation.
Even if git is not available in PATH, git-gui is now able
to find it. Hence git-gui can be passed to wish as an absolute
path without caring about the environment.
We must modify PATH to be able to spawn shell based git commands.

Sometimes the Fetch menu looks really odd, such as if you are in a
repository that has no remotes configured when you start git-gui.
Here we didn't have any items to add to the Fetch menu so it was a
tad confusing for the end-user to see an empty menu on the menu bar.
We now place all of the commands related to fetching and pushing of
changes into a single "Remote" menu. This way we have a better class
of bucket that we can drop additional remote related items into such
as doing a remote merge or editing the remote configuration specs.
The shortcuts to execute fetch/remote prune/push on existing remote

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.

I really cannot explain Cygwin's behavior here but if we start
git-gui through Cygwin on a local drive it appears that Cygwin
is leaving $env(PATH) in Unix style, even if it started a native
(non-Cygwin) Tcl/Tk process to run git-gui. Yet starting that
same git-gui and Tcl/Tk combination through Cygwin on a network
share causes it to automatically convert $env(PATH) into Windows

Cygwin has been stuck on the 8.4.1 version of Tcl/Tk for quite some
time, even though the main Tcl/Tk distribution is already shipping
an 8.4.15. The problem is Tcl/Tk no longer supports Cygwin so
apparently building the package for Cygwin is now a non-trivial task.
Its actually quite easy to build the native Win32 version of Tcl/Tk
by compiling with the -mno-cygwin flag passed to GCC but this means
we lose all of the "fancy" Cygwin path translations that the Tcl
library was doing for us. This is particularly an issue when we
are trying to start git-gui through the git wrapper as the git
wrapper is passing off a Cygwin path for $0 and Tcl cannot find
the startup script or the library directory.
We now use `cygpath -m -a` to convert the UNIX style paths to Windows
style paths in our startup script if we are building on Cygwin.
Doing so allows either the Cygwin-ized Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 that comes with
Cygwin or a manually built 8.4.15 that is running the pure Win32
implementation to read our script.

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.

someone to drop any random Tcl code into us is not fantastic idea.
By renaming send to the empty name the procedure will be removed

David Kastrup pointed out that the following sequence was not
working as we had intended:
$ cd lib
$ git gui blame console.tcl
fatal: cannot stat path lib/console.tcl: No such file or directory
The problem here was we disabled the chdir to the root of the
working tree when we are running with a "bare allowed" feature
such as blame or browser, but we still kept the prefix we found via
`git rev-parse --show-prefix`. This caused us to try and look for
the file "console.tcl" within the subdirectory but also include
the subdirectory's own path from the root of the working tree.
This is unlikely to succeed, unless the user just happened to have
a "lib/lib/console.tcl" file in the repository, in which case we
would produce the wrong result.
In the case of a bare repository we shouldn't get back a value from
`rev-parse --show-prefix`, so really $_prefix should only be set
to the non-empty string if we are in a working tree and we are in a
subdirectory of that working tree. If this is true we really want
to always be at the top level of the working tree, as all paths are
accessed as though they were relative to the top of the working tree.
Converting $_prefix to a ../ sequence is a fairly simple approach
to moving up the requisite levels.

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.

A long time ago Linus Torvalds tried to run git-gui on a bare

I'm moving the code related to looking to see if we should GC now
into a procedure closer to where it belongs, the database module.
This reduces our script by a few lines for the single commit case
(aka citool). But really it just is to help organize the code.
We now perform the check after we have been running for at least
1 second. This way the main window has time to open up and our
dialog (if we open it) will attach to the main window, instead of
floating out in no-mans-land like it did before on Mac OS X.
I had to use a wait of a full second here as a wait of 1 millisecond
made our console install itself into the main window. Apparently we
had a race condition with the console code where both the console and

Some users may do odd things, like tag their own private version of
Git with an annotated tag such as 'testver', then compile that git
and try to use it with git-gui. In such a case `git --version` will
give us 'git version testver', which is not a numeric argument that
we can pass off to our version comparsion routine.
We now check that the cleaned up git version is a going to pass the
version comparsion routine without failure. If it has a non-numeric
component, or lacks at least a minor revision then we ask the user to
confirm they really want to use this version of git within git-gui.
If they do we shall assume it is git 1.5.0 and run with only the code
that will support.

Instead of running a full git-count-objects to count all of the loose
objects we can get a reasonably close approximation by counting the
number of files in the .git/objects/42 subdirectory. This works out
reasonably well because the SHA-1 hash has a fairly even distribution,
so every .git/objects/?? subdirectory should get a relatively equal
number of files. If we have at least 8 files in .git/objects/42 than it
is very likely there is about 8 files in every other directory, leaving
us with around 2048 loose objects.
This check is much faster, as we need to only perform a readdir of
a single directory, and we can do it directly from Tcl and avoid the
costly fork+exec.
All of the credit on how clever this is goes to Linus Torvalds; he
suggested using this trick in a post commit hook to repack every so

If we cannot locate a .exe for a git tool that we want to run than
it may just be a Bourne shell script as these are popular in Git.
In such a case the first line of the file will say "#!/bin/sh" so
a UNIX kernel knows what program to start to parse and run that.
But Windows doesn't support shbang lines, and neither does the Tcl
that comes with Cygwin.
We can pass control off to the git wrapper as that is a real Cygwin
program and can therefore start the Bourne shell script, but that is
at least two fork+exec calls to get the program running. One to do
the fork+exec of the git wrapper and another to start the Bourne shell
script. If the program is run multiple times it is rather expensive
as the magic shbang detection won't be cached across executions.
On MinGW/MSYS we don't have the luxury of such magic detection. The
MSYS team has taught some of this magic to the git wrapper, but again
its slower than it needs to be as the git wrapper must still go and
run the Bourne shell after it is called.
We now attempt to guess the shbang line on Windows by reading the
first line of the file and building our own command line path from
it. Currently we support Bourne shell (sh), Perl and Python. That
is the entire set of shbang lines that appear in git.git today.

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want

While I was working on this change I also converted all of our
existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper

running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available)

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
in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the
obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch
by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local
branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered.

This change introduces two new global procs:
ui_status $msg; # Sets the status bar to show $msg.
ui_ready; # Changes the status bar to show "Ready."
The second (special) form is used because we often update the area
with this message once we are done processing a block of work and
want the user to know we have completed it.

Some newer features of git-gui want to rely on features that are
new to Git 1.5.3. Since they were added as part of the 1.5.3
development series we cannot use those features with versions of
Git that are older than 1.5.3, such as from the stable 1.5.2 series.
We introduce [git-version >= 1.5.3] to allow the caller to get a
response of 0 if the current version of git is < 1.5.3 and 1 if
the current version of git is >= 1.5.3. This makes it easy to
setup conditional code based upon the version of Git available to
us at runtime.
Instead of parsing the version text by hand we now use the Tcl
[package vcompare] subcommand to compare the two version strings.
This works nicely, as Tcl as already done all of the hard work
of doing version comparsions. But we do have to remove the Git
specific components such as the Git commit SHA-1, commit count and
release candidate suffix (rc) as we want only the final release
version number.

The Tools/Migrate menu option is a hack just for me. Yes, that's

The menu option is not supported outside of that environment.
In the past we only enabled Tools/Migrate if our special local

This latter test for the '.pvcsrc' file is now failing, as the file
was removed from all Git repositories due to changes made to other
tooling within the great firewall's realm.
I have changed the test to only work on Cygwin, and only if the
special 'gui-miga' is present. This works around the configuration
changes made recently within the great firewall's realm, but really

Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment
can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have
ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have

shell script and keep Tcl from executing it.

Apparently git-commit.sh (the command line commit user interface in
core Git) always gives precedence to the prior commit's message if
`commit --amend` is used and a $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file also exists.
We actually were doing the same here in git-gui, but the amended
message got lost if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG already existed because
we started a rescan immediately after loading the prior commit's
body into the edit buffer. When that happened the rescan found
MERGE_MSG existed and replaced the commit message buffer with the
contents of that file. This meant the user never saw us pick up
the commit message of the prior commit we are about to replace.
Johannes Sixt <J.Sixt@eudaptics.com> found this bug in git-gui by
running `git cherry-pick -n $someid` and then trying to amend the

not $someid. With the recent changes to make cherry-pick use the

of $someid, not HEAD. Now we always use HEAD if we are amending.

Git has supported remote branch deletion for quite some time, but
I've just never gotten around to supporting it in git-gui. Some
workflows have users push short-term branches to some remote Git
repository, then delete them a few days/weeks later when that topic
has been fully merged into the main trunk. Typically in that style
of workflow the user will want to remove the branches they created.
We now offer a "Delete..." option in the Push menu, right below the
generic "Push..." option. When the user opens our generic delete
dialog they can select a preconfigured remote, or enter a random
URL. We run `git ls-remote $url` to obtain the list of branches and
tags known there, and offer this list in a listbox for the user to
select one or more from.
Like our local branch delete dialog we offer the user a way to filter
their selected branch list down to only those branches that have been
merged into another branch. This is a very common operation as the
user will likely want to select a range of topic branches, but only
delete them if they have been merged into some sort of common trunk.
Unfortunately our remote merge base detection is not nearly as strict
as the local branch version. We only offer remote heads as the test
commit (not any local ones) and we require that all necessary commits
to successfully run git-merge-base are available locally. If one or
more is missing we suggest that the user run a fetch first.
Since the Git remote protocol doesn't let us specify what the tested
commit was when we evaluated our decision to execute the remote delete
there is a race condition here. The user could do a merge test against
the trunk, determine a topic branch was fully merged, but before they
can start pushing the delete request another user could fast-forward
the remote topic branch to a new commit that is not merged into the
trunk. The delete will arrive after, and remove the topic, even though

Git's native command line interface has had branch renaming
support for quite a while, through the -m/-M options to the
git-branch command line tool. This is an extremely useful
feature as users may decide that the name of their current
branch is not an adequate description, or was just entered
incorrectly when it was created.
Even though most people would consider git-branch to be a
Porcelain tool I'm using it here in git-gui as it is the
only code that implements the rather complex set of logic
needed to successfully rename a branch in Git. Currently
that is along the lines of:
*) Backup the ref
*) Backup the reflog
*) Delete the old ref
*) Create the new ref
*) Move the backed up reflog to the new ref
*) Record the rename event in the reflog
*) If the current branch was renamed, update HEAD
*) If HEAD changed, record the rename event in the HEAD reflog
*) Rename the [branch "$name"] section in the config file
Since that is some rather ugly set of functionality to implement
and get right, and some of it isn't easily accessible through the
raw plumbing layer I'm just cheating by relying on the Porcelain.

The Windows and Mac OS X platforms do not generally use the tearoff
menu feature found on traditional X11 based systems. On Windows the
Tk engine does support the feature, but it really is out of place and
just confuses people who aren't used to working on a UNIX system. On
Mac OS X its not supported for the root menu bar and its submenus, as
it doesn't fit into the overall platform UI model.

If we cannot locate our git-gui library directory, or we find it
but the tclIndex file is not present there (or it is present but
is not something we are allowed to read) the user cannot use the
application. Rather than silently ignoring the errors related to
the tclIndex file being unavailable we report them up front and
display to the user why we cannot start.

When we are using our "non-optimized" tclIndex format (which is
just a list of filenames, in the order necessary for source'ing)
we are doing all of our loading before we even tested to see if
GITGUI_VERBOSE was set in the environment. This meant we never
showed the files as we sourced them into the environment.
Now we setup our overloaded auto_load and source scripts before
we attempt to define our library path, or source the scripts that
it mentions. This way GITGUI_VERBOSE is always honored if set.

Because we now try to automatically guess the library directory
in certain installations users may wonder where git-gui is getting
its supporting files from. We now display this location in our
About dialog, and we also include the location we are getting our
Git executables from.
Unfortunately users cannot use this 'About git-gui' dialog to
troubleshoot library loading problems; the dialog is defined by
code that exists in the library directory, creating a catch-22.

In some workflows it is common for a large number of temporary
branches to be created in a remote repository, get fetched to
clients that typically only use git-gui, and then later have
those branches deleted from the remote repository once they have
been fully merged into all destination branches. Users of git-gui
would obviously like to have their local tracking branches cleaned
up for them, otherwise their local tracking branch namespace would
grow out of control.
The best known way to remove these tracking branches is to run
"git remote prune <remotename>". Even though it is more of a
Porcelain command than plumbing I'm invoking it through the UI,
because frankly I don't see a reason to reimplement its ls-remote
output filtering and config file parsing.
A new configuration option (gui.pruneduringfetch) can be used to
automatically enable running "git remote prune <remotename>" after
the fetch of that remote also completes successfully. This is off
by default as it require an additional network connection and is
not very fast on Cygwin if a large number of tracking branches have
been removed (due to the 2 fork+exec calls per branch).

Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location
of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding
it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user
wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the
packager wanted them to be installed into.
Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master
git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib.
This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix.
If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and
we get it from $argv0 rather than embedding it into the script itself.

Alberto Bertogli reported on #git that git-gui was exiting with
alt-q, while gitk on the same system was exiting with ctrl-q.
That was not what I wanted. I really wanted M1B to be bound to
the Control key on most non-Mac OS X platforms, but according to
Sam Vilain M1 on most systems means alt. Since gitk always does
control, I'm doing the same thing for all non-Mac OS X systems.

Our GITGUI_LIBDIR macro was testing only for @@ at the start of
the path, assuming nobody would ever find that to be a reasonable
prefix for a directory to install our library into. That is most
likely a valid assumption, but its even more unlikely they would
have the start be @@GITGUI_ and the end be @@. Note that we
cannot use the full string here because that would get expanded
by the sed replacement in our Makefile.

Petr Baudis pointed out the main git.git repository's Makefile dies
now if git-gui 0.7.0-rc1 or later is being used and TCL_PATH was not
set to a working tclsh program path. This breaks people who may have
a working build configuration today and suddenly upgrade to the latest
git release.
The tclIndex is required for git-gui to load its associated lib files,
but using the Tcl auto_load procedure to source only the files we need
is a performance optimization. We can emulate the auto_load by just
source'ing every file in that directory, assuming we source class.tcl
first to initialize our crude class system.

If the user doesn't give us a revision parameter to our blame
subcommand then we can generate blame against the working tree
file by passing the file path off to blame with the --contents
argument. In this case we cannot obtain the contents of the
file from the ODB; instead we must obtain the contents by
reading the working directory file as-is.

The browser subcommand now optionally accepts a single revision
argument; if no revision argument is supplied then we use the
current branch as the tree to browse. This is very common, so
its a nice option.
Our blame subcommand now tries to perform the same assumptions
as the command line git-blame; both the revision and the file
are optional. We assume the argument is a filename if the file
exists in the working directory, otherwise we assume the argument
is a revision name. A -- can be supplied between the two to force
parsing, or before the filename to force it to be a filename.

I think it was Andy Parkins who pointed out that git gui blame HEAD f
does not work if f is in a subdirectory and we are currently running
git-gui within that subdirectory. This is happening because we did
not take the user's prefix into account when we computed the file
path in the repository.
We now assume the prefix as returned by rev-parse --show-prefix is
valid and we use that during the command line blame subcommand when
we apply the parameters.

Our blame viewer code has historically been a mess simply
because the data for multiple viewers was all crammed into
a single pair of Tcl arrays. This made the code hard to
read and even harder to maintain.
Now that we have a slightly better way of tracking the data
for our "meta-widgets" we can make use of it here in the
blame viewer to cleanup the code and make it easier to work
with long term.

Now that we have a slightly easier method of working with per-widget

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.
We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.
I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a
huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of
the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library
files.

Whenever we want to execute a git subcommand from the plumbing
layer (and on rare occasion, the more porcelain-ish layer) we

Rather than passing "-font font_ui" to every widget that we

An earlier change tossed these optionMenu font configurations
all over the code, when really we can just rename the proc to

of the procedures that open dialogs; instead we should just set
one time, them after we have the font configuration ready for use.

A coworker who was new to git-gui recently tried to make an octopus

really don't want to perform an octopus merge this additional safety
