Now that recent versions of gitk (shipping with at least git 1.5.0-rc1

Apparently a "feature" of Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X is that a disabled text
widget cannot receive focus or receive a selection within it. This
makes the diff viewer almost useless on that platform as you cannot
select individual parts of the buffer.
Now we force focus into the diff viewer when its clicked on with
button 1. This works around the feature and allows selection to
work within the viewer just like it does on other less sane systems,
like Microsoft Windows.

When committing changes its useless to have trailing whitespace on the
end of a line within the commit message itself; this serves no purpose
beyond wasting space in the repository. But it happens a lot on my
Mac OS X system if I copy text out of a Terminal.app window and paste
it into git-gui.
We now clip any trailing whitespace from the commit buffer when loading
it from a file, when saving it out to our backup file, or when making
the actual commit object.
I also fixed a bug where we lost the commit message buffer if you quit
without editing the text region. This can happen if you quit and restart
git-gui frequently in the middle of an editing session.

If we are displaying a diff for a DOS-style (CRLF) formatted file then
the Tk text widget would normally show the CR at the end of every line;
in most fonts this will come out as a square box. Rather than showing
this character we'll tag it with a tag which forces the character to
be elided away, so its not displayed. However since the character is
still within the text buffer we can still obtain it and supply it over
to `git apply` when staging or unstaging an individual hunk, ensuring
that the file contents is always fully preserved as-is.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Just like `git-add --interactive` we can now stage and unstage individual
hunks within a file, rather than the entire file at once. This works
on the basic idea of scanning backwards from the mouse position to
find the hunk header, then going forwards to find the end of the hunk.
Everything in that is sent to `git apply --cached`, prefixed by the
diff header lines.
We ignore whitespace errors while applying a hunk, as we expect the
user's pre-commit hook to catch any possible problems. This matches
our existing behavior with regards to adding an entire file with
no whitespace error checking.
Applying hunks means that we now have to capture and save the diff header
lines, rather than chucking them. Not really a big deal, we just needed
a new global to hang onto that current header information. We probably
could have recreated it on demand during apply_hunk but that would mean
we need to implement all of the funny rules about how to encode weird
path names (e.g. ones containing LF) into a diff header so that the
`git apply` process would understand what we are asking it to do. Much
simpler to just store this small amount of data in a global and replay
it when needed.
I'm making absolutely no attempt to correct the line numbers on the
remaining hunk headers after one hunk has been applied. This may
cause some hunks to fail, as the position information would not be
correct. Users can always refresh the current diff before applying a
failing hunk to work around the issue. Perhaps if we ever implement
hunk splitting we could also fix the remaining hunk headers.
Applying hunks directly means that we need to process the diff data in
binary, rather than using the system encoding and an automatic linefeed
translation. This ensures that CRLF formatted files will be able to be
fed directly to `git apply` without failures. Unfortunately it also means
we will see CRs show up in the GUI as ugly little boxes at the end of
each line in a CRLF file.

If the user selects a different branch from the Branch menu, or asks
us to create a new branch and immediately checkout that branch we
now perform the update of the working directory by way of a 2 way
read-tree invocation.
This emulates the behavior of `git checkout branch` or the behavior
of `git checkout -b branch initrev`. We don't however support the
-m style behavior, where a switch can occur with file level merging
performed by merge-recursive. Support for this is planned for a

Its nice to know how many loose objects and roughly how much disk space
they are taking up, so that you can guestimate about when might be a
good time to run 'Compress Database'. The same is true of packfiles,
especially once the automatic keep-pack code in git-fetch starts to
be more widely used.
We now offer the output of count-objects -v in a nice little dialog
hung off the Repository menu. Our labels are slightly more verbose
than those of `count-objects -v`, so users will hopefully be able
to make better sense of what we are showing them here.
We probably should also offer pack file size information, and data
about *.idx files which exist which lack corresponding *.pack files
(a situation caused by the HTTP fetch client). But in the latter
case we should only offer the data once we have way to let the user
clean up old and inactive index files.

Git prefers that all log messages are encoding in UTF-8. So now when
git-gui generates the commit message it converts the commit message
text from the internal Tcl Unicode representation into a UTF-8 file.
The file is then fed as stdin to git-commit-tree. I had to start
using a file here rather than feeding the message in with << as
<< uses the system encoding, which we may not want.
When we reload a commit message via git-cat-file we are getting the
raw byte stream, with no encoding performed by Git itself. So unless
the new 'encoding' header appears in the message we should probably
assume it is utf-8 encoded; but if the header is present we need to
use whatever it claims.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Since git operates on filenames using the operating system encoding
any data we are receiving from it by way of a pipe, or sending to it
by way of a pipe must be formatted in that encoding. This should
be the same as the Tcl system encoding, as its the encoding that
applications should be using to converse with the operating system.
Sadly this does not fix the gitweb/test file in git.git on Macs;

Users may want to know what a file is before they add it to the
repository, especially if its a binary file. So when possible
invoke 'file' on the path and try to get its output. Since
this is strictly advice to the user we won't bother to report
any failures from our attempt to run `file`.
Since some file commands also output the path name they were
given we look for that case and strip it off the front of the

Our internal diff viewer displays untracked files to help users see if
they should become tracked, or not. It is not meant as a full file
viewer that handles any sort of input. Consequently it is rather
unreasonable for users to expect us to show them very large files.
Some users may click on a very big file (and not know its very big)
then get surprised when Tk takes a long time to load the content and
render it, especially if their memory is tight and their OS starts to
swap processes out.
Instead we now limit the amount of data we load to the first 128 KiB
of any untracked file. If the file is larger than 128 KiB we display
a warning message at the top of our diff viewer to notify the user
that we are not going to load the entire thing. Users should be able
to recognize a file just by its first 128 KiB and determine if it
should be added to the repository or not.
Since we are loading 128 KiB we may as well scan it to see if the
file is binary. So I've removed the "first 8000 bytes" rule and
just allowed git-gui to scan the entire data chunk that it read in.
This is probably faster anyway if Tcl's [string range] command winds
up making a copy of the data.

A binary file can be very large, and showing the complete content of
one is horribly ugly and confusing. So we now use the same rule that
core Git uses; if there is a NUL byte (\0) within the first 8000 bytes
of the file we assume it is binary and refuse to show the content.
Given that we have loaded the entire content of the file into memory
we probably could just afford to search the whole thing, but we also
probably should not load multi-megabyte binary files either.

If we got an empty diff its probably because the modification time of
the file was changed but the file content hasn't been changed. Typically
this happens because an outside program modified the file and git-gui
was told to not run 'update-index --refresh', as the user generally
trusts file modification timestamps. But we can also get an empty diff
when a program undos a file change and still updates the modification
timestamp upon saving, but has undone the file back to the same as what
is in the index or in PARENT.
So even if gui.trustmtime is false we should still run a rescan on
an empty diff. This change also lets us cleanup the dialog message
that we show when this case occurs, as its no longer got anything to
do with Trust File Modification Timestamps.

Because users who use git-gui are likely to also be using gitk, we
should at least match gitk's default colors and formatting within the
diff viewer.
Unfortunately this meant that I needed to change the background colors
of the hunks in a 'diff --cc' output, as the green used for 'added line'
was completely unreadable on the old color. We now use ivory1 to show
hunks which came from HEAD/parent^1, which are the portions that the
current branch has contributed, and are probably the user's own changes.
We use a very light blue for the portions which came from FETCH_HEAD,
as this makes the changes made by the other branch stand out more in the
diff.
I've also modified the hunk header lines to be blue, as that is how gitk
is showing them.
Apparently I forgot to raise the sel tag above everything else in the
diff viewer, which meant that selections in the diff viewer were not

Now that we are using 'git diff' to display unmerged working directory
files we are getting 'diff --cc' output rather than 'diff --combined'

sense here, we shouldn't attempt to rewrite them to something else.
I've added 'diff --cc *' to the skip list in our diff viewer, as that
particular line is not very interesting to display.
I've completely refactored how we perform detection of the state of a
line during diff parsing; we now report an error message if we don't
understand the particular state of any given line. This way we know
if we aren't tagging something we maybe should have tagged in the UI.
I've also added special display of the standard conflict hunk markers
(<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>). These are formatted without a patch op
as the patch op is always '+' or '++' (meaning the line has been added
relative to the committed state) and are displayed in orange bold text,
sort of like the @@ or @@@ marker line is at the start of each hunk.
In a 3 way merge diff hunks which came from our HEAD are shown with a
azure2 background, and hunks which came from the incoming MERGE_HEAD
are displayed with a 'light goldenrod yellow' background. This makes

If a file has a merge conflict we want it to show up in the 'Changed
But Not Updated' file list rather than the 'Changes To Be Committed'
file list. This way the user can mostly ignore the left side (the
HEAD<->index comparsion) while resolving a merge and instead focus
on the merge conflicts, which are just shown on the right hand side.
This requires detecting the U state in the index side and drawing
it as though it were _, then forcing the working directory side to
have a U state. We have to delay this until presentation time as
we don't want to change our internal state data to be different
from what Git is telling us (I tried, the patch for that was ugly
and didn't work).
When showing a working directory diff and its a merge conflict we
don't want to use diff-files as this would wind up showing any
automatically merged hunks obtained from MERGE_HEAD in the diff.
These are not usually very interesting as they were completed by
the system. Instead we just want to see the conflicts. Fortunately
the diff porcelain-ish frontend (aka 'git diff') detects the case of
an unmerged file and generates a --cc diff against HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
So we now force any working directory diff with an index state of 'U'
to go through that difference path.

which side the user clicked on.
If the user clicks on the "Changes To Be Committed" side then we should
show them the PARENT<->index difference. This is the set of changes they

If the user clicks on the "Changed But Not Updated" side we should show
them the index<->working directory difference. This is the set of changes
which will not be committed, as they have not been staged into the index.

Now that our lists represent more defined states it no longer makes any
sense to permit a user to make selections from both lists at once, as
the each available operation acts only on files whose status corresponds
to only one of the lists.

During unstaging we can simplify the way we perform the output by

The list of states which are valid for update-index were a little
too verbose and fed a few too many cases to the program. We can
do better with less lines of code by using more pattern matching,
and since we already were globbing here there's little change in
runtime cost.

We can revert any file which has a valid stage 0 (is not unmerged)
and which is has a working directory status of M or D. This vastly
simplifies our pattern matching on file status when building up the
list of files to perform a checkout-index against.

Rather than relying on the file state and just inverting it, we should
look at which file icon the user clicked on. If they clicked on the
one in the "Changes To Be Committed" list then they want to unstage
the file. If they clicked on the icon in the "Changed But Not Updated"
list then they want to add the file to the commit. This should be much
more reliable about capturing the user's intent then looking at the file
state.

Now that core Git refers to resetting paths in the index as "unstaging"
the paths we should do the same in git-gui, both internally in our code
and also within the menu action name. The same follows for our staging
logic, as core Git refers to this as 'add'.

Updated the state descriptions for individual file states to try and
make them more closely align with what git-runstatus might display.
This way a user who is reading Git documentation will be less confused
by our descriptions.

The DM state cannot really happen. Its implying that the file has
been deleted in the index, but the file in the working directory has
been modified relative to the file in the index. This is complete
nonsense, the file doesn't exist in the index for it to be different
against!

Apparently my earlier suspicion that the file state DD was a bug was
correct. A file which has been deleted from the working directory and
from the index will always get the state of D_ during a rescan. Thus
the only valid state for this to have is D_. We should always use only
D_ internally during our state changes.

This is a rather drastic change to the git-gui user interface, but it
doesn't really look any different yet. I've taken the two lists and
converted them to being "changes to be committed" and "changed but
not updated". These lists correspond to the same lists output by
git-runstatus based on how files differ in the HEAD<->index and the
index<->working directory comparsions it performs.
This change is meant to correlate with the change in Git 1.5.0 where
we have brought the index more into the foreground and are trying to
teach users to make use of it as part of their daily operations.

I'm going to refactor the way file status information gets displayed
so it more closely aligns with the way 'git-runstatus' displays the
differences between HEAD<->index and index<->working directory. To
that end the other file list is going to be changed to be the working
directory difference. So this change renames it.

If the user has many git-gui icons it may be confusing when they
start one which git-gui is still coming up. So on the windows
systems we now include an echo statement which displays the full

Because it is such a common idiom to use [gitdir] along with [file join]
to locate the path of an item within the .git directory of the current
repository we might as well allow gitdir to act as a wrapper for the
file join operation.

The gitdir global variable is essentially read-only, and is used rather
frequently. So are appname and reponame. Needing to constantly declare
'global appname' just so we can access the value as $appname is downright
annoying and redundant. So instead I'm declaring these as procedures and
changing all uses to invoke the procedure rather than access the global
directly.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
We use reponame in a number of locations, and every time its always the
same value. Instead of computing this multiple times with code that was
copied and pasted around we can compute it once immediately after the
global gitdir has been computed and set.

Users often forget to repack their object database, then start to
complain about how slow it is to perform common operations after
they have collected thousands of loose objects in their objects
directory. A simple repack usually restores performance.
During startup git-gui now asks git-count-objects how many loose
objects exist, and if this number exceeds a hardcoded threshold
we suggest that the user compress the database (aka run 'git gc')
at this time. I've hardcoded this to 2000 objects on non-Windows
systems as there the filesystems tend to handle the ~8 objects
per directory just fine. On Windows NTFS and FAT are just so slow
that we really start to lag when more than 200 loose objects exist,
so the hardcoded threshold is much lower there.

I really hate that I have this specialized hack within git-gui, but
its here. The hack shouldn't be offered unless miga's required .pvcsrc
file is in the top level of the repository's working directory. If
this file is missing miga will fail to startup properly, and the user
cannot wouldn't be able to use it within this directory.

If a user wants to report an issue they will likely want to include
the version number with their issue report. This may be difficult
to enter if the version number includes an abbreviated commit SHA1
on the end of it. So we now give the user a context menu option
on the version box which allows them to copy all of the relevant
version data to the clipboard, ready for pasting into a report.

I'm stealing the exact logic used by core Git within its own Makefile to
setup the version number within scripts and executables. This way we
can be sure that the version number is always updated after a commit,
and that the version number also reflects when it is coming from a dirty
working directory (and is thus pretty worthless).
I've cleaned up some of the version display code in the about dialog too.
There were simply too many blank lines in the bottom section where we
showed the version data.

We're a true GPL program, and we're interactive. We should show the

Now that we know what version git-gui is, the about dialog should

they have before they report a problem or request a feature.

We want to embed the version of git-gui directly into the script file,
so that we can display it properly in the about dialog. Consequently
I've refactored the Makefile process to act like the one in core git.git
with regards to shell scripts, allowing git-gui to be constructed by a
sed replacement performed on git-gui.sh.
