Now that git 1.5.0-rc1 and later has a 'git gc' command which performs
all important repository management activites (including reflog pruning,
repacking local objects, unnecessary loose object pruning and rerere cache
expiration) we should run 'gc' when the user wants us to cleanup their
object database for them.
I think the name 'gc' is horrible for a GUI application like git-gui,
so I'm labeling the menu action 'Compress Database' instead. Hopefully
this will provide some clue to the user about what the action does.

If the user has partial includes disabled then it doesn't matter what

correct, and that they didn't just include the file into the commit
while merge conflicts still exist within the file.

Because the Tcl binary distributed with Cygwin tends to not pass along
its own environment (the env array) to its children, its unlikely that
any Git commands spawned by git-gui will receive the same environment
variables that git-gui itself received from the shell which started it.
If the user is counting on environment variables to pass down, like say
GIT_INDEX_FILE, they may not, so we warn them during git-gui startup
that things may not work out as the user intended. Perhaps one day
when git-gui and git are running on native Windows (rather than through
the Cygwin emulation layers) things will work better.

Its useful to be able to amend the last commit even if it was a merge
commit, so we really should support that in the gui. We now do so by
making PARENT a list. We always diff against the first parent but we
create a commit consisting of the parent(s) listed in this list, in
order.
We also should recheck the repository state during an amend. Earlier
I was bitten by this exact bug when I switched branches through a
command prompt and then did not do a rescan in git-gui. When I hit
"Amend Last Commit" I was surprised to see information from the prior
branch appear. This was due to git-gui caching the data from the last
rescan and using that data form the amend data load request, rather than
the data of the current branch.
Improved error text in the dialogs used to tell the user why an amend is
being refused by git-gui. In general this is only during an initial
commit (nothing prior to amend) and during a merge commit (it is simply
too confusing to amend the last commit while also trying to complete a
merge).
Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the pull logic. Since this code isn't
really useful nobody has recently tested it and noticed the breakage.
It really needs to be rewritten anyway.

The tags used for diff formatting (which I inherited from gitool) just
didn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if you wanted to try to
match them to the diff output you were seeing on screen. It did not
help that the diff-index -c output's first two columns are also munged
to make the diff output more user friendly.
So this is a large refactoring of the tags used for diff display. Now
our tag names match what we put in the left column of each line, which
makes it easier to correlate presentation and implementation.
I removed bold font usage from everything except the hunk headers as I
really did not like the way bold font caused column alignments to become
out of whack within the diff viewer. It also drew attention to the parts
of the file which were identically changed in both the index and in the
working directory, yet these are usually the parts I find myself caring
the least about. So its very counter-intuitive.
Lines which are changed differently by both the index and the working
directory are now shown with background colors which span the entire line,
making these lines easier to pick out of the diff. In general these are
the lines that appear to be more interesting to me when looking at the
3-way diff as they are the ones which contain recent and quite different
changes.

New files also lack index data from diff-files therefore we cannot use

Its also not "highly likely" that another Git program modified the

Because we really want to diff the index against a tree-ish and

Because I want to let users apply actions to more than one file at

really use the Tk selection to track which files are picked and
which aren't. So instead we keep this in an array to tell us
which paths are currently selected and we use an inverse fg/bg
for the selected file display. This is common most operating
systems as a selection indicator.
The selection works like most users would expect; single click will
clear the selection and pick only that file, M1-click (aka Ctrl-click

Shift-click will select the range between the last clicked file and

Since git-gui is (at least partially) intended to be used by newer
users who don't need the complexity of the index to be put in front
of them early on, we should hide it by making any partially included
file fully included as soon as we identify it. To do this we just
run a quick update_index pass on any file which differs both in the
index and the working directory, as these files have already been
at least partially included by the user.

status displayed in the right side of the diff viewer heading. It was
still reporting 'Checked in' for a fully included file, which is not
what we wanted it to say.

There's a lot of reasons why the user might need to obtain the
complete (or just part of) path of a file which they are currently
viewing in the diff viewer pane. So now we allow selection on this
widget by using a text widget instead of a label. We also offer a
context menu which has actions for copying the selection or the entire
value onto the clipboard.

When we shove a large number of files at update-index and they have
very short path names we are likely going to fit a large number of
them into the pipe buffer very early; thereby seeing a huge progress
update followed by lots of waiting between progress updates due to
the latency of update-index.
Using a smaller buffer should help smooth out the progress updates
as we are better able to keep tabs on the update-index process'
progress through our list of paths.

Its a little surprising to see the UI update the icons for files
in random order, due to the fact that the files are updating in
the order they appear within the array (which is based on a hash
function and not order). So sort the list of files before we send
any to update-index so the order of operation is means something to
the user.

When displaying a diff the Git default of 3 line of context may not be
enough for a user to see what has actually changed. Consequently we
set our own program default to 5 lines of context and then allow the
user to adjust this on a per-repository and global level through our
options dialog.

I'd like to allow the user to have more control over how we format
the diff in the diff viewer; to that end we need to add additional
options to the diff-index command line as we construct the command
for execution.
So cleanup the command handling code now to use lappend so we can
come back and add in our additional options.

We can't ask the diff viewer to recompute the diff until after our
update-index child process terminates, as the diff programs need to
be able to read the updated index in order to generate the correct
diff. This is actually why we prevent diffs from being generated
while there is an update lock on the index, which is why we ignored
our own show_diff invocation in the middle of the write_update_index
event handler.
So now we mark a flag if we identify that the file currently in the
diff viewer was also sent to update-index; then later when the
update-index process has terminated we update the diff viewer if
the flag is true.

This is one of those stupid Tcl mistakes that an experienced Tcl
programmer just wouldn't make. We should always use eq and ne to
compare string values (and never == or !=) as when we use ==/!=
Tcl will attempt to convert either side to numeric if one of the
two sides looks like a numeric. This could cause some trouble if
a file named "1" exists and a different file named "1.0" also exists;
their paths are equal according to == but not according to eq.

Since git-commit.sh invokes hooks/post-commit after running git rerere
we should do the same if its available and executable.

We were originally trying to use $commit_active to tell us if there was
a commit currently in progress, just so we didn't attempt to start a
second (parallel) one by mistake. But really the index lock handles
this for us as it won't let us lock the index if it is already locked
for update. So this can't happen.

I started to notice on Windows that commits took a lot longer to get
going than on my Mac OS X system. The real reason is the repositories
that I'm testing with on Windows all enabled the standard pre-commit hook
while my test repository on Mac OS X doesn't have it executable (so its
not running). So the Windows repositories are spending this
lag time running that hook.
Now we run the pre-commit hook in the background, allowing the UI to
update and tell the user we are busy doing things.

Because the pull diffstat summary can take as long as the pull itself
some users may just choose to disable the summary and save themselves
an extra few seconds during each pull. This is especially true if the
user really doesn't care about the other files being modified, as due
to their project organizational structure they aren't really responsible
for their content.
This adds an option to the options panel which lets the user disable
the diffstat summary (and thus we pass --no-summary to git-pull) but
there does appear to be a bug in the config saving code where we did
not set the local repo config differently from the global config.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Since git-repo-config will supply us a union of both the global and
the local repository configuration data when we invoke it during startup
there is no reason to go get the global configuration with an extra call
to repo-config unless the user is trying to view & edit all options in
the options dialog.
Since skipping this extra repo-config invocation save us a little bit of
time its nice to be able to avoid it when we are invoked as git-citool
and won't be running very long.

If the user is invoking us as git-citool then they want to perform a
single commit and exit quickly. Since we are about to be a very short
lived process we should do what we can to avoid spending CPU time setting
up menus which the user will never use, like the fetch/push/pull menus.

Apparently Tcl is being helpful on Windows during exec and is throwing a
\ in front of every { it finds in the string. I'm guessing they think
the value might be read by another Tcl program? Anyway, Git faithfully
stores the \{ sequence and sends it back that way to Tcl, at which point
Tcl parses the list wrong and starts to break it in the middle of any
element which contains spaces. Therefore a list such as:
-family {Times New Roman}
gets broken up into the pairs:
{-family \{Times}
{New Roman}
which is very incorrect. So now we replace all { and } with "", at which
point Tcl doesn't throw \ in front of the " on the way out to Git yet it
reads it correctly as a list on the way back in.
I also found and fixed a bug in the way we restored the fonts when the
user presses Restore Defaults in the options dialog.

Since the font name can only be chosen from within the options dialog
giving the user fast access to this dialog from within a context menu
that already talks about increasing and decreasing the font size may
help users to locate the font name setting as well.

Display the name of "this" repository rather than the quite ambiguous
string "This". The idea is that seeing the name of the directory the
repository is stored in should help jog the user's memory about what
they are setting options for.
Also place the options dialog immediately over the git-gui main window
when it gets opened. This way the user isn't scrolling very far away
to gain access to the window. At least on my Mac OS X system not doing
this makes the options dialog open rather far away, thus requiring lots
of mouse activity to reach it.

The git-update-index process can take a while to process a large
number of files; for example my laptop would probably need almost
an hour to chug through 20,000 modified files. In these incredibly
large cases the user should be given at least some feedback to let
them know the application is still working on their behalf, even if
it won't them do anything else (as the index is locked).

This turned out to take a lot more time than I thought it would take;
but now users can edit the main UI font and the diff/fixed with font
by changing both the family name and/or the point size of the text.
We save the complete Tk font specification to the user's ~/.gitconfig
file upon saving options. This is probably more verbose than it needs
to be as there are many useless options recorded (e.g. -overstrike 0)
that a user won't really want to use in this application.

I decided that the options menu was going to turn into a mess after
a while as I start to add additional features to git-gui. The better
approach would be to create a dialog that lets the user edit the options,
including their --global options.
We also wisely let the user press Cancel (or destroy the window) to abort
any sort of option editing session, without the options being changed.

Arrow is available on all Tk platforms and is mapped to the native

Apparently <Button-3> doesn't work on my single button PowerBook
mouse under Mac OS X. I'm guessing this is because Tk is stealing
every event and doesn't realize that Control-Button-1 is actually
supposed to invoke the context menu on this platform.
So now we have a utility procedure is_MacOSX to guess if we are
running on a Mac OS X system, and if so setup Control-Button-1 to
also activate what Button-3 should have. This does mean that I need
to stay away from using Control-Button-1 as a binding in any other
context. Of course we should use $M1B for that, which is M1 (aka
Command) on Mac OS X so that shouldn't prove to be a problem.

The native Tk font system is actually quite powerful and has the nice
property that modifications to a named font are immediately reflected
throughout all widgets currently displayed. This really saves us
from needing to write all of the reconfigure code as part of our font
display.
I also fixed the way we detect and apply the system font on the main
UI widgets as although it worked on a Windows 2000 system it does not
work at all on my Mac OS 10.4 system.

When the user has enabled the Trust File Modification Timestamp option
then we may display a file as being modified yet that file may not have
a difference. When the user clicks on that file we wind up displaying
an empty diff viewer, which makes no sense to the user.
So instead if we get an empty diff and the user has this option enabled
and the file's current state is _M (no change in index but the working
file appears modified) then run a quick update-index on just that file
and remove it from the list of modified files. We also give the user
a quick dialog stating we are removing it, and why.
Usually I don't run into this situation when I have the Trust File
Modification Timestamp option enabled, so its not that annoying to
have a dialog pop open to remind me why there are no differences.
