The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string
"FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to
the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto
the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here.
Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default
joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call
sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need
a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty
join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function.
Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable
name to use here.

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.

Git's native command line interface has had branch renaming
support for quite a while, through the -m/-M options to the
git-branch command line tool. This is an extremely useful
feature as users may decide that the name of their current
branch is not an adequate description, or was just entered
incorrectly when it was created.
Even though most people would consider git-branch to be a
Porcelain tool I'm using it here in git-gui as it is the
only code that implements the rather complex set of logic
needed to successfully rename a branch in Git. Currently
that is along the lines of:
*) Backup the ref
*) Backup the reflog
*) Delete the old ref
*) Create the new ref
*) Move the backed up reflog to the new ref
*) Record the rename event in the reflog
*) If the current branch was renamed, update HEAD
*) If HEAD changed, record the rename event in the HEAD reflog
*) Rename the [branch "$name"] section in the config file
Since that is some rather ugly set of functionality to implement
and get right, and some of it isn't easily accessible through the
raw plumbing layer I'm just cheating by relying on the Porcelain.
