At the command line, trying to check out a remote branch gives you a
detailed warning message, but the gitk GUI currently allows it without
any fuss.
Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it
seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line,
not less.
This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.

Commit 5497f7a23a ("gitk: Add configuration
for UI colour scheme") added a call to tk_setPalette at startup.
Unfortunately, tk_setPalette always chooses a dark red color for
the selectColor value if none is given explicitly, and this makes
checkbuttons and radiobuttons look rather bad.
This restores the previous appearance by specifying selectColor
explicitly. For light backgrounds we use white for selectColor, and
for dark backgrounds we use black. The formula and threshold for
distinguishing light from dark are the same as used in tk_setPalette
for choosing the foreground color.

We check the required Tcl version number before we setup msgcat for

The caller of show_error can now pass an alternative function for mc.
The Tcl list function turns the translation into a no-op.

When displaying diffs in a submodule, this makes gitk display the
headlines of the commits being diffed, instead of just showing
not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs, if the underlying git installation
supports this. That makes it much easier to evaluate the changes, as
it eliminates the need to start a gitk inside the submodule and use
the superprojects hashes there to find out what the commits are about.
Since the --submodule option of git diff is new in git version 1.6.6,
this only uses the --submodule option when a git version of 1.6.6 or
higher is detected.

When comparing a string of commits, when we find two non-merge commits
that differ, we now write the two commits to files and diff the files.
This pulls out the logic for creating a temporary directory from
external_diff into a separate procedure so that the new diffcommits
procedure can use it.
Because the diff command returns an exit status of 1 when the files
differ, and Tcl treats that as an error, this adds catch {} around the
close statements in getblobdiffline.
At present this only removes the temporary files when gitk exits. It
should remove them when the diff is done.

We only accepted either SHA1s or heads/tags that have been read. This
meant the user could not, e.g., enter HEAD to go back to the current
commit.
This adds code to call out to git rev-parse --verify if all other
methods of interpreting the string the user entered fail.
(git-rev-parse alone is not enough as we really want a single
revision.)
The error paths change slighly, because we now know from the rev-parse
invocation whether the expression was valid at all. The previous
"unknown" path is now only triggered if the revision does exist, but
is not in the current view display.

ee66e08 (gitk: Make updates go faster, 2008-05-09) implemented an
optimized mode where gitk parses the arguments with rev-parse, and
manually reads history in chunks. As mentioned in the commit message,
symmetric differences are a problem there:
One wrinkle is that we have to turn symmetric diff arguments (of the
form a...b) back into symmetric diff form so that --left-right still
works, as git rev parse turns a...b into a b ^merge_base(a,b).
However, git-rev-parse returns a...b in the swapped order
b a ^merge_base(a,b)
This has been the case since at least 1f8115b (the state of master at
the time of the abovementioned ee66e08; Merge branch 'maint',
2008-05-08). So gitk flipped the sides of symmetric differences
whenever it was in optimized mode.
Fix this by swapping the sides of the reconstruction code.

This fixes a bug in the compare-commits function added in commit
010509f2 ("gitk: Add a command to compare two strings of commits")
where gitk would show an error dialog if the comparison of commits
got to a fake commit (one showing local changes). It extends
getpatchid to handle these fake commits by using [diffcmd] to get
the git diff command variant to use, and also handles the situation
where an error occurs.
Now that we can have the fake commit IDs showing up, which are
00..00 and 00..01, the short ID is ambiguous. To make sure the links
point to the right commit, this adds a new [appendshortlink] procedure
which takes the full link destination, and uses that rather than

This adds a row context menu command to compare this commit and its
descendants with the marked commit and its descendants. The results
are shown in the bottom-left pane. Commits are compared by checking
whether their headlines are the same and their patches have the same
patch ID as generated by git patch-id.
Merges are ignored and skipped over (as long as they have one
descendant). If two commits have the same patch ID then the process
will continue and compare their descendants, as long as they both have
exactly one descendant. If either commit has 0 or 2 or more descendants,
the comparison stops there. There is currently a limit of 100
comparisons.
This can be useful for checking whether one string of commits is just
a rebased version of another string of commits. Mark the end of one
string (i.e. the oldest commit in the string) and invoke "Compare with
marked commit" on the end of the other string.
As this is implemented, the UI will be unresponsive while the results
are being generated. This should be fixed.

and another to find the closest common descendant of this commit and
the marked commit.
The "find common descendant" command uses the displayed parent/child
relationships (i.e. the rewritten parent pointers produced by git log),
not the real parent/child relationships. Currently the UI will be
unresponsive while gitk is working out the nearest common descendant;
this should be improved in future.

There were actually two problems. This recipe created a situation where
git log would output a child commit after its parent. This meant that
we called fix_reversal which called splitvarc, which should call modify_arc
to note the fact that it has modified the arc that it has just split. It
wasn't, which meant that displayorder and other variables got into an
inconsistent state (a commit appearing twice in displayorder).
This then meant that the targetrow/targetid logic in drawvisible thought
it need to redraw each time. That, together with the fact that drawvisible
called drawcommits which called drawvisible if a redraw was needed, led
to the infinite loop.
In fact drawvisible is now the only caller of drawcommits. Thus, the
start and end row arguments to drawcommits always encompass the whole
visible area, so drawcommits doesn't need to call drawvisible to redraw;
it just needs to clear the screen and draw what it's been asked to.
This fixes these two problems by adding a call to modify_arc in
splitvarc and by taking out the call to drawvisible in drawcommits.
It also removes an unrelated left-over debugging puts in external_blame.

The same problem occurs when running git gui blame, except that

Finally, this fixes a bug in [show_line_source] where we weren't

Currently, if you invoke the "diff this -> selected" or "diff selected

diff display pane will just show the header but not the actual diff,
unless gitk has done the diff before and thus has the list of files
that differ. This was because the logic in gettreediffline that
checked whether we had moved on to doing something else checked the
mode (Tree or Patch) before checking whether the ids we're diffing
had changed.

Since gitk looks for the HEAD commit to attach the fake commits for

have a path limit and the HEAD commit doesn't alter any of the files
in the path limit.
This fixes it by running
git rev-list -1 $head -- $paths
if we have a path limit, and taking the result of that as the commit
to attach the fake commits to. This means that we can be attaching
the fake commits to a different commit in each view, so we use a new
$viewmainhead($view) for that.
