I am not very happy with trailing whitespaces in the new

The last test in t9200 wants to see if executable bit is
retained, which has no chance of succeeding on a filesystem that
does not handle executable bit correctly.

For the purpose of this test we do not really care if the paths
are in latin-1, but people on Cygwin seem to be having problem
on foreign-looking pathnames that do not play well with their
locale.
Let's try to re-code them in UTF-8 and see who screams,
thanks, or reports no-improvements.

Recent commit ae1dffcb28 by Junio
changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone,
fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command
line parameter parsing.
Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression
expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)'
is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their
implementation of expr.
Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments,
ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr.

git-fast-import requires use of inttypes.h, but the master branch has
added it to git-compat-util differently than git-fast-import originally
had used it. This merge back of master to the fast-import topic is to
get (and use) inttypes.h the way master is using it.
This is a partially evil merge to remove the call to setup_ident(),
as the master branch now contains a change which makes this implicit
and therefore removed the function declaration. (commit 01754769).

To help the user visually see which lines are associated with each other
in the file we attempt to sign a unique background color to each commit
and then render all text associated with that commit using that color.
This works out OK for a file which has very few commits in it; but
most files don't have that property.
What we really need to do is look at what colors are used by our
neighboring commits (if known yet) and pick a color which does not
conflict with our neighbor. If we have run out of colors then we
should force our neighbor to recolor too. Yes, its the graph coloring
problem.

Using a panedwindow to display the blame viewer's individual columns
just doesn't make sense. Most of the important data fits within the
columns we have allocated, and those that don't the leading part fits
and that's good enough. There are just too many columns within this
viewer to let the user sanely control individual column widths. This
change shouldn't really be an issue for most git-gui users as their
displays should be large enough to accept this massive dump of data.
We now also have a properly working horizontal scrollbar for the
current file data area. This makes it easier to get away with a
narrow window when screen space is limited, as you can still scroll
around within the file content.

I started to get confused about what each column meant in the blame
viewer, and I'm the guy who wrote the code! So now git-gui hints to

which seem to cause so much pain on Windows.

When we annotate a file and show its line data, we're already asking
for copy and movement detection (-M -C). This costs extra time, but
gives extra data. Since we are asking for the extra data we really
should show it to the user.
Now the blame UI has two additional columns, one for the original
filename (in the case of a move/copy between files) and one for the
original line number of the current line of code.

We used to use lock_any_ref_for_update() because the command
needs to also update HEAD (which is not under refs/, so
lock_ref_sha1() cannot be used). The function however did not
check for refs with illegal characters in them.
Use check_ref_format() to catch malformed refs. For this check,
we specifically do not want to say having less than two levels
in the name is illegal to allow HEAD (and perhaps other special
refs in the future).

Since we run blame incrementally in the background we might as well get
as much data as we can from the file. Adding -M and -C definately makes
it take longer to compute the revision annotations, but since they are
streamed in and updated as they are discovered we'll get recent data
almost immediately anyway.

This rather huge change provides a browser for the current branch. The
browser simply shows the contents of tree HEAD, and lets the user drill
down through the tree. The icons used really stink, as I just copied in
icon which we already had. I really need to replace the file_dir and
file_uplevel icons with something more useful.
If the user double clicks on a file within the browser we open it in
a blame viewer. This makes use of the new incremental blame feature
that Linus just added yesterday to core Git. Fortunately the feature
will be in 1.5.0 final so we can rely on having it available here.
Since the blame engine is incremental the user will get blame data
for groups which can be determined early. Git will slowly fill in
the remaining lines as it goes.

Running on Cygwin is different than if we were running through MinGW.
In the Cygwin case we have cygpath available to us, we need to perform
UNIX<->Windows path translation sometimes, and we need to perform odd
things like spawning our own login shells to perform network operations.
But in the MinGW case these don't occur. Git knows native Windows file
paths, and login shells may not even exist.
Now git-gui will avoid running cygpath unless it knows its on Cygwin.
It also uses a different shortcut type when Cygwin is not present, and
it avoids invoking /bin/sh to execute hooks if Cygwin is not present.
This latter part probably needs more testing in the MinGW case.
This change also improves how we start gitk. If the user is on any type
of Windows system its known that gitk won't start right if ~/.gitk exists.
So we delete it before starting if we are running on any type of Windows
operating system. We always use the same wish executable which launched
git-gui to start gitk; this way on Windows we don't have to jump back to
/bin/sh just to go into the first wish found in the user's PATH. This
should help on MinGW when we probably don't want to spawn a shell just
to start gitk.

Users may want to be able to read Git documentation, even if they
are not command line users. There are many important concepts and
terms covered within the standard Git documentation which would be
useful to even non command line using people.
We now try to offer an 'Online Documentation' menu option within the
Help menu. First we try to guess to see what browser the user has
setup. We default to instaweb.browser, if set, as this is probably
accurate for the user's configuration. If not then we try to guess
based on the operating system and the available browsers for each.
We prefer documentation which is installed parallel to Git's own
executables, e.g. `git --exec-path`/../Documentation/index.html, as
that is how I typically install the HTML docs. If those are not found
then we open the documentation published on kernel.org.
