If we are deleting a local branch from refs/heads/ we need to
make sure any associated configuration stored in .git/config is
also removed (such as branch.$name.remote and branch.$name.merge).
The easiest way to do this is to use git-branch as that automatically
will look for and delete configuration keys as necessary.

The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat.
Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise
xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both
delimiters would work fine.
[jes: I merged the later patches to that end.]

This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between
branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like
core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our
new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update
as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a
very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently).
Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we
use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool)
to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local
branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of
the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge
repositories.
Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option
in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the
obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch
by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local
branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered.

One of my production repositories has hundreds of remote tracking
branches. Trying to navigate these through a popup menu is just
not possible. The list is far larger than the screen and it does
not scroll fast enough to efficiently select a branch name when
trying to create a branch or delete a branch.
This is major rewrite of the revision chooser mega-widget. We
now use a single listbox for all three major types of named refs
(heads, tracking branches, tags) and a radio button group to pick
which of those namespaces should be shown in the listbox. A filter
field is shown to the right allowing the end-user to key in a glob
specification to filter the list they are viewing. The filter is
always taken as substring, so we assume * both starts and ends the
pattern the user wanted but otherwise treat it as a glob pattern.
This new picker works out really nicely. What used to take me at
least a minute to find and select a branch now takes mere seconds.

A simple refactoring of the delete branch dialog to allow use of
the class construct to better organize the code and to reuse the
revision selection code of our new choose_rev mega-widget.
