This commit teaches git-gui to accept versions with annotations
that start with text and optionally end with a dot followed by
a number.
This is needed by the current versioning scheme of msysgit,
which uses versions like 1.5.3.mingw.1. However, the changes
is not limited to this use case. Any version of the form
<numeric version>.<anytext>.<number> would be parsed and only
the starting <numeric version> used for validation.

gitk expects $env(GIT_DIR) to be valid as both a path that core Git
and Tcl/Tk can resolve to a valid directory, but it has no special
handling for Cygwin style UNIX paths and Windows style paths. So
we need to do that for gitk and ensure that only relative paths are
fed to it, thus allowing both Cygwin style and UNIX style paths to
be resolved.

If we are using Cygwin and the git repository is actually a
workdir (by way of git-new-workdir) but this Tcl process is
a native Tcl/Tk and not the Cygwin Tcl/Tk then we are unable
to traverse the .git/info path as it is a Cygwin symlink and
not a standard Windows directory.
So we actually need to start a Cygwin process that can do the
path translation for us and let it test for .git/info/exclude
so we know if we can include that file in our git-ls-files or
not.

I really cannot explain Cygwin's behavior here but if we start
git-gui through Cygwin on a local drive it appears that Cygwin
is leaving $env(PATH) in Unix style, even if it started a native
(non-Cygwin) Tcl/Tk process to run git-gui. Yet starting that
same git-gui and Tcl/Tk combination through Cygwin on a network
share causes it to automatically convert $env(PATH) into Windows
style, which broke our internal "which" implementation.

If we cannot find the git executable in the user's $PATH then
we cannot function correctly. Because we need that to get the
version so we can load our library correctly we cannot rely on
the library function "error_popup" here, as this is all running
before the library path has been configured, so error_popup is
not available to us.

Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

Oddly enough `git ls-files --others` supplies us the name of an
untracked submodule by including the trailing slash but that
same git version will not accept the name with a trailing slash
through `git update-index --stdin`. Stripping off that final
slash character before loading it into our file lists allows
git-gui to stage changes to submodules just like any other file.
This change should give git-gui users some basic submodule support,
but it is strictly at the plumbing level as we do not actually know
about calling the git-submodule porcelain that is a recent addition
to git 1.5.3.

The Tk designers blessed us with the "send" command, which on X11
will allow anyone who can connect to your X server to evaluate any
Tcl code they desire within any running Tk process. This is just
plain nuts. If git-gui wants someone running Tcl code within it
then would ask someone to supply that Tcl code to it; waiting for
someone to drop any random Tcl code into us is not fantastic idea.
By renaming send to the empty name the procedure will be removed
from the global namespace and Tk will stop responding to random Tcl
evaluation requests sent through the X server. Since there is no
facility to filter these requests it is unlikely that we will ever
consider enabling this command.

Today I found yet another way for the "Stage Hunk" and "Unstage
Hunk" context menu actions to leave the wrong state enabled in
the UI. The problem this time was that I connected the state
determination to the value of $::current_diff_side (the side the
diff is from). When the user was last looking at a diff from the
index side and unstages everything the diff panel goes empty, but
the action stayed enabled as we always assumed unstaging was a
valid action.
This change moves the logic for determining when the action is
enabled away from the individual side selection, as they really
are two unrelated concepts.

Current versions of git-remote apparently are passing the -w option
to Perl as part of the shbang line:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
this caused a problem in git-gui and gave the user a Tcl error with
the message: "git-remote not supported: #!/usr/bin/perl -w".
The fix for this is to treat the shbang line as a Tcl list and look
at the first element only for guessing the executable name. Once
we know the executable name we use the remaining elements (if any
exist) as arguments to the executable, before the script filename.

David Kastrup pointed out that the following sequence was not
working as we had intended:
$ cd lib
$ git gui blame console.tcl
fatal: cannot stat path lib/console.tcl: No such file or directory
The problem here was we disabled the chdir to the root of the
working tree when we are running with a "bare allowed" feature
such as blame or browser, but we still kept the prefix we found via
`git rev-parse --show-prefix`. This caused us to try and look for
the file "console.tcl" within the subdirectory but also include
the subdirectory's own path from the root of the working tree.
This is unlikely to succeed, unless the user just happened to have
a "lib/lib/console.tcl" file in the repository, in which case we
would produce the wrong result.
In the case of a bare repository we shouldn't get back a value from
`rev-parse --show-prefix`, so really $_prefix should only be set
to the non-empty string if we are in a working tree and we are in a
subdirectory of that working tree. If this is true we really want
to always be at the top level of the working tree, as all paths are
accessed as though they were relative to the top of the working tree.
Converting $_prefix to a ../ sequence is a fairly simple approach
to moving up the requisite levels.

git-apply does not accept a patch that was generated as a three-way
combined diff format such as we see during merge conflicts. If we
get such a diff in our diff viewer and try to send it to git-apply
it just errors out and the user is left confused wondering why they
cannot stage that hunk.
Instead of feeding a known to be unacceptable hunk to git-apply we
now just disable the stage/unstage context menu option if the hunk
came from a three way diff. The user may still be confused about
why they cannot work with a combined diff, but at least they are
only confused as to why git-gui is not offering them the action.

If the tclsh command was not available to us at the time we were
"built" our lib/tclIndex just lists all of our library files and
we source all of them at once during startup, rather than trying
to lazily load only the procedures we need. This is a problem as
some of our library code now depends upon the git-version proc,
and that proc is not defined until after the library was fully
loaded.
I'm moving the library loading until after we have determined the
version of git we are talking to, as this ensures that the required
git-reversion procedure is defined before any library code can be
loaded. Since error_popup is defined in the library we instead use
tk_messageBox directly for errors found during the version detection.

In a13ee29b97 I totally broke the
"Stage Hunk For Commit" feature by making this menu item always
appear in a disabled state, so it was never invokable. A "teaser
feature", just sitting there taunting the poor user who has become
used to having it available.
The issue caused by a13ee was I added a test to look at the data
in $file_states, but I didn't do that test correctly as it was
always looking at a procedure local $file_states array, which is
not defined, so the test was always true and we always disabled
the menu entry.
Instead we only want to disable the menu entry if the current file
we are looking at has no file state information (git-gui is just a
very confused little process) or it is an untracked file (and we
cannot stage individual hunks).

Aside from using more modern looking icons we now have a special

If the user is in the middle of a merge and has already started to
modify their commit message we were losing the user's changes when
they pressed 'Rescan' after resolving issues or making changes in
the working directory.
The problem here was our background timer that saves the commit
message buffer. It marks the commit message buffer as not being
modified when it writes it out to disk, so during the rescan we
assumed the buffer should be replaced with what we read from the
MERGE_MSG file. So we now only read these files from .git if we
have a valid backup file. Since we clear it on commit this will
only have an impact while the user is actively editing the current

A few users have been seeing crashes in Tk when using the undo key
binding to undo the last few keystroke events in the commit buffer.
Unfortunately that means the user loses their commit message and
must start over from scratch when the user restarts the process.
git-gui now saves the user's commit message buffer every couple of
seconds to a temporary file under .git (specifically .git/GITGUI_BCK).
At exit time we rename this file to .git/GITGUI_MSG if there is a
message, the file exists, and it is currently synchronized with the
Tk buffer. Otherwise we do our usual routine of saving the Tk buffer
to .git/GITGUI_MSG and delete .git/GITGUI_BCK, if it exists.
During startup we favor .git/GITGUI_BCK over .git/GITGUI_MSG. This
way a crash doesn't take out the user's message buffer but instead
will cause the user to lose only a few keystrokes. Most people do
not type more than 200 WPM, and with 30 possible saves per minute
we are unlikely to lose more than 7 words.

Some users may do odd things, like tag their own private version of
Git with an annotated tag such as 'testver', then compile that git

we can pass off to our version comparsion routine.
We now check that the cleaned up git version is a going to pass the

Instead of running a full git-count-objects to count all of the loose
objects we can get a reasonably close approximation by counting the
number of files in the .git/objects/42 subdirectory. This works out
reasonably well because the SHA-1 hash has a fairly even distribution,
so every .git/objects/?? subdirectory should get a relatively equal
number of files. If we have at least 8 files in .git/objects/42 than it
is very likely there is about 8 files in every other directory, leaving
us with around 2048 loose objects.
This check is much faster, as we need to only perform a readdir of
a single directory, and we can do it directly from Tcl and avoid the
costly fork+exec.
