Now that we take the approach of core Git where we allow the user to
stage their changes directly into the index all of the time there is
absolutely no reason to have the Allow Partially Added Files option,
nor is there a reason or desire to default that option to false.

On Mac OS X wish does not draw borders around text fields, making the
field look like its not even there until the user focuses into it. I
don't know the Mac OS X UI standards very well, but that just seems
wrong. Other applications (e.g. Terminal.app) show their input boxes
with a sunken relief, so we should do the same.

Sometimes you want to create a branch from a remote tracking branch.
Needing to enter it in the revision expression field is very annoying,
so instead let the user select it from a list of known tracking branches.

Most of the time when you are deleting branches you want to delete
those which have been merged into your upstream source. Typically
that means it has been merged into the tip commit of some tracking
branch, and the current branch (or any other head) doesn't matter.

Users can now delete a local branch by selecting from a list of
available branches. The list automatically does not include
the current branch, as deleting the current branch could be quite
dangerous and should not be supported.
The user may also chose to have us verify the branches are fully
merged into another branch before deleting them. By default we
select the current branch, matching 'git branch -d' behavior,
but the user could also select any other local branch.

Creating branches is a common enough activity within a Git project
that we probably should give it a keyboard accelerator. N is not
currently used and seems reasonable to stand for "New Branch". To
bad our menu calls it create.

Users may now create new branches by activating the Branch->Create menu
item. This opens a dialog which lets the user enter the new branch
name and select the starting revision for the new branch.
For the starting revision we allow the user to either select from a
list of known heads (aka local branches) or to enter an arbitrary
SHA1 expression. For either creation technique we run the starting
revision through rev-parse to verify it is valid before trying to
create the ref with update-ref.

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

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'.

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

Because it is such a common idiom to use [gitdir] along with [file join]

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

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

We want to embed the version of git-gui directly into the script file,
