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.

If the user runs the blame viewer on a working directory file
instead of a specific commit-ish then we have no value for the
commit SHA1 or the summary line; this causes the history menu
to get an empty entry at the very bottom. We now look for this
odd case and call the meny entry "Working Directory".

The Tcl list datatype is significantly faster to work with than
the array type, especially if our indexes are a consecutive set
of numbers, like say line numbers in a file.
This rather large change reorganizes the internal data structure
of the blame viewer to use a proper Tcl list for the annotation
information about a line. Each line is given its own list within
the larger line_data list, where the indexes correspond to various
facts about that particular line.
The interface does seem to be more responsive this way, with less
time required by Tcl to process blame, and to switch to another
version of the same file. It could just be a placebo effect, but
either way most Tcl experts perfer lists for this type of work over
arrays.

The code to handle our three different text widgets is a bit
on the messy side as we issue the same command on all three
widgets one at a time. Adding (or removing) columns from the
viewer is messy, as a lot of locations need to have the new
column added into the sequence, or removed from it.
We also now delete the tags we create for each commit when
we switch to display another "commit:path" pair. This way the
text viewer doesn't get bogged down with a massive number of tags
as we traverse through history.

The array variable "order" used to be used to tell us in what
order each commit was received in. Recent changes have removed
that need for an ordering and the "order" array is now just a
boolean 'do we have that commit yet' flag.
The colors were moved to fields, so they appear inside of the
blame viewer instance. This keeps two different concurrently
running blame viewers from stepping on each other's ordering
of the colors in group_colors.
Most of the other fields were moved around a little bit so
that they are organized by major category and value lifespan.

After we finish reading a chunk of data from the file stream
we know how many digits we need in the line number column to
show the current maximum line number. If our line number column
isn't wide enough, we should expand it out to the correct width.
Any file over our default allowance of 5 digits (99,999 lines)
is so large that the slight UI "glitch" when we widen the column
out is trivial compared to the time it will take Git to fully do
the annotations.

Most source code files are under 9,999 lines of text, so using a
field width of 5 characters meant that we should have had one char
padding on the left edge (because we right-justify the line number).
Unfortunately when I added the right margin earlier (when I removed
the padding) I ate into the extra character's space, losing the left
margin. This put the line numbers too close to the commit column in
any file with more than 999 lines in it.

The colors I originally picked out on a Mac OS X system look a
tad too dark on a Windows 2000 system; the greys are dark enough
to make it difficult to read some lines of text and the green used
to highlight the current commit was also difficult to read text on.
I also added a third grey to the mix, to try and help some files
that wind up with a number of neighboring chunks getting the same

On Mac OS X the OS has "features" that like to draw thick black
borders around the text field that has focus. This is nice if
you want to know where your text is going and are blind as a bat,
but it isn't the best thing to have in a table that is being
faked through the abuse of Tk text widgets.
By setting our takefocus, highlightthickness and padx/y we can
get rid of this border and get our text widgets packed right next
to each other, with no padding between them. This makes the blame
background color smoothly run across the entire line of commit data,
line number and file content.

Originally I had placed this loaded column between the line number
and the file line data to help users know if a particular line has
received annotation data or not yet. This way users would know if
the line(s) they were interested in were ready for viewing, or if
they still had to wait. It also was an entertaining way for the
user to spend their time waiting for git-blame --incremental to
compute the complete set of annotations.
However it is completely useless now that we show the abbreviated
commit SHA-1 and author initials in the leftmost column. That area
is empty until we get the annotation data, and as soon as we get it
in we display something there, indicating to the user that there is
now blame data ready. Further with the tooltips the user is likely
to see the data as soon as it comes in, as they are probably not
keeping their mouse perfectly still. So I'm removing the field to
save screen space for more useful things, like file content.

Apparently Tk on Mac OS X won't draw a button with an image using a
transparent background. Instead it draws the button using some sort

Earlier I had tried this same trick on Windows and it draws the same
way as the button did, so I'm going to switch to the label as that
seems to be more portable.

If we have two commits right next to each other in the final
file and they were kept as different blocks in the leftmost
column then its probably because the original filename was

Consecutive chunks of a file could come from the same commit, but

gitweb has long had a feature where the user can click on any
commit the blame display and go visit that commit's information
page. From the user could go get the blame display for the file
they are tracking, and try to digg through the history of any
part of the code they are interested in seeing.
We now offer somewhat similiar functionality in git-gui. The 4
digit commit abreviation in the first column of our blame view is
now offered as a hyperlink if the commit isn't the one we are now
viewing the blame output for (as there is no point in linking back
to yourself). Clicking on that link will stop the current blame
engine (if still running), push the new target commit onto the
history stack, and restart the blame viewer at that commit, using
the "original file name" as supplied by git-blame for that chunk
of the output.
Users can navigate back to a version they had been viewing before
by way of a back button, which offers the prior commits in a popup
menu displayed right below the back button. I'm always showing the
menu here as the cost of switching between views is very high; you
don't want to jump to a commit you are not interested in looking at
again.
During switches we throw away all data except the cached commit data,
as that is relatively small compared to most source files and their
annotation marks. Unfortunately throwing this per-file data away in
Tcl seems to take some time; I probably should move the line indexed
arrays to proper lists and use [lindex] rather than the array lookup
(usually lists are faster).
We now start the git-blame process using "nice", so that its priority
will drop hopefully below our own. If I don't do this the blame engine
gets a lot of CPU under Windows 2000 and the git-gui user interface is
almost non-responsive, even though Tcl is just sitting there waiting
for events.

Computing the blame records for a large file with a long project
history can take git a while to run; traditionally we have shown
a little meter in the status area of our blame viewer that lets
the user know how many lines have been finished, and how far we
are through the process.
Usually such progress indicators are drawn with a little progress
bar in the window, where the bar shows how much has been completed
and hides itself when the process is complete. I'm using a very
simple hack to do that: draw a canvas with a filled rectangle.
Of course the time remaining has absolutely no relationship to the
progress meter. It could take very little time for git-blame to get
the first 90% of the file, and then it could take many times that to
get the remaining 10%. So the progress meter doesn't really have any
sort of assurances that it relates to the true progress of the work.
But in practice on some ugly history it does seem to hold a reasonable
indicator to the completion status. Besides, its amusing to watch and
that keeps the user from realizing git is being somewhat slow.

At one point I tried to present the blame viewer to an audience of
people on a 640 by 480 pixel LCD projector. This did not work at
all as the top area (the file data) was taking up all of the screen
realestate and the split point was not adjustable by the user. In
general locking the user into a specific ratio of display is just
not user friendly.
So we now place a split pane control into the middle of our blame
window, so the user can adjust it to their current needs. If the
window increases (or decreases) in height we assign the difference
to the file data area, as that is generally the area of the window
that users are trying to see more of when they grow the window.
Unfortunately there appears to be a bug in the "pack" layout manager
in Tcl/Tk 8.4.1. The status bar and the lower commit pane was being
squashed if the window decreased in height. I think the pack manager
was just not decreasing the size of the panedwindow slave properly if
the main window shrank. Switching to the "grid" layout manager fixes
the problem, but is slightly uglier setup code.

Frequently when I'm looking at blocks of code in the blame
viewer I want to know who is the culprit, or who I should
be praising for a job well done. The tooltips nicely show
this if I mouse over a block, but it doesn't work to get
this detail at a glance.
Since we don't use the leftmost commit column for anything
after the first line within a commit group I'm now tossing
the author's initials into that field, right justified. It
is quite clearly not a SHA-1 number as we always show the
SHA-1 in lowercase, while we explicitly select only the
uppercase characters from an author's name field, and only
those that are following whitespace.
I'm using initials here over anything else as they are quite
commonly unique within small development teams. The leading
part of the email address field was out for some of the teams
I work with, as there the email addresses are all of the form
"Givenname.Surname@initech.com". That will never fit into the
4 characters available.

If two consecutive lines in the final file came from the same commit
then we store a "|" in the first column rather than the commit id,
for the second and subsequent lines in that block. This cleans up
the interface so runs associated with the same commit can be more
easily seen visually.
We also now use the abbreviation "work" for the uncommitted stuff in
your working directory, rather than "0000". This looks nicer to the
eyes and explains pretty quickly what is going on.
There was also a minor bug in the commit abbreviation column for the
last line of the file. This is now also fixed.

The git-gui blame viewer has always been ugly as s**t. Linus Torvalds
suggested the coloring scheme I'm using here, which is two different
shades of grey for the background colors, and black text on a pale green
background for the currently selected/focused commit.
The difference is a massive improvement. The interface no longer will
cause seizures in people who are prone to that sort of thing. It no
longer uses a very offensive hot pink. The green being current actually
makes sense. And not having the background of the other non-current
