Tcl's msgcat library and corresponding mc procedure can locate a
translated string for any user message, provided that it is first
given a directory where the *.msg files are located containing the
translations.
During installation we will place the translations in lib/msgs/,
so we need to inform msgcat of this location once we determine it
during startup. Our source code tree however will store all of
the translations within the po/ directory, so we need to special
case this variant.

To support a localized version of git-gui we need to locate the
library directory early so we can initialize Tcl's msgcat package
to load translated messages from. This needs to occur before we
declare our git-version proc so that errors related to locating
git or assessing its version can be reported to the end-user in
their preferred language. However we have to keep the library
loading until after git-version has been declared, otherwise we
will fail to start git-gui if we are using a fake tclIndex that
was generated by our Makefile.

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.

git-apply does not accept a patch that was generated as a three-way
combined diff format such as we see during merge conflicts. If we
get such a diff in our diff viewer and try to send it to git-apply
it just errors out and the user is left confused wondering why they
cannot stage that hunk.
Instead of feeding a known to be unacceptable hunk to git-apply we
now just disable the stage/unstage context menu option if the hunk
came from a three way diff. The user may still be confused about
why they cannot work with a combined diff, but at least they are
only confused as to why git-gui is not offering them the action.

If the tclsh command was not available to us at the time we were
"built" our lib/tclIndex just lists all of our library files and
we source all of them at once during startup, rather than trying
to lazily load only the procedures we need. This is a problem as
some of our library code now depends upon the git-version proc,
and that proc is not defined until after the library was fully
loaded.
I'm moving the library loading until after we have determined the
version of git we are talking to, as this ensures that the required
git-reversion procedure is defined before any library code can be
loaded. Since error_popup is defined in the library we instead use
tk_messageBox directly for errors found during the version detection.

In a13ee29b97 I totally broke the
"Stage Hunk For Commit" feature by making this menu item always
appear in a disabled state, so it was never invokable. A "teaser
feature", just sitting there taunting the poor user who has become
used to having it available.
The issue caused by a13ee was I added a test to look at the data
in $file_states, but I didn't do that test correctly as it was
always looking at a procedure local $file_states array, which is
not defined, so the test was always true and we always disabled
the menu entry.
Instead we only want to disable the menu entry if the current file
we are looking at has no file state information (git-gui is just a
very confused little process) or it is an untracked file (and we
cannot stage individual hunks).

If the user is in the middle of a merge and has already started to
modify their commit message we were losing the user's changes when
they pressed 'Rescan' after resolving issues or making changes in
the working directory.
The problem here was our background timer that saves the commit
message buffer. It marks the commit message buffer as not being
modified when it writes it out to disk, so during the rescan we
assumed the buffer should be replaced with what we read from the
MERGE_MSG file. So we now only read these files from .git if we
have a valid backup file. Since we clear it on commit this will
only have an impact while the user is actively editing the current
commit.

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.

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.

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.

This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between

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
