Cygwin has been stuck on the 8.4.1 version of Tcl/Tk for quite some
time, even though the main Tcl/Tk distribution is already shipping
an 8.4.15. The problem is Tcl/Tk no longer supports Cygwin so
apparently building the package for Cygwin is now a non-trivial task.
Its actually quite easy to build the native Win32 version of Tcl/Tk
by compiling with the -mno-cygwin flag passed to GCC but this means
we lose all of the "fancy" Cygwin path translations that the Tcl
library was doing for us. This is particularly an issue when we
are trying to start git-gui through the git wrapper as the git
wrapper is passing off a Cygwin path for $0 and Tcl cannot find
the startup script or the library directory.
We now use `cygpath -m -a` to convert the UNIX style paths to Windows
style paths in our startup script if we are building on Cygwin.
Doing so allows either the Cygwin-ized Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 that comes with
Cygwin or a manually built 8.4.15 that is running the pure Win32
implementation to read our script.

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.

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.

Oddly enough `git ls-files --others` supplies us the name of an
untracked submodule by including the trailing slash but that

git-gui to stage changes to submodules just like any other file.

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

index side and unstages everything the diff panel goes empty, but
the action stayed enabled as we always assumed unstaging was a

This change moves the logic for determining when the action is

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.

If the tclsh command was not available to us at the time we were

some of our library code now depends upon the git-version proc,

I'm moving the library loading until after we have determined the

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.

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

If we cannot locate a .exe for a git tool that we want to run than
it may just be a Bourne shell script as these are popular in Git.
In such a case the first line of the file will say "#!/bin/sh" so
a UNIX kernel knows what program to start to parse and run that.
But Windows doesn't support shbang lines, and neither does the Tcl
that comes with Cygwin.
We can pass control off to the git wrapper as that is a real Cygwin
program and can therefore start the Bourne shell script, but that is
at least two fork+exec calls to get the program running. One to do
the fork+exec of the git wrapper and another to start the Bourne shell
script. If the program is run multiple times it is rather expensive
as the magic shbang detection won't be cached across executions.
On MinGW/MSYS we don't have the luxury of such magic detection. The
MSYS team has taught some of this magic to the git wrapper, but again
its slower than it needs to be as the git wrapper must still go and
run the Bourne shell after it is called.
We now attempt to guess the shbang line on Windows by reading the
first line of the file and building our own command line path from
it. Currently we support Bourne shell (sh), Perl and Python. That
is the entire set of shbang lines that appear in git.git today.

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want
to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do
symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we
found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some
cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32.
While I was working on this change I also converted all of our
existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper
functions. These functions take additional options like --nice
and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like
running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available)
or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

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.

I'm really starting to dislike global variables. The ui_status_value
global varible is just one of those that seems to appear in a lot of
code and in many cases we didn't even declare it "global" within the
proc that updates it so we haven't always been getting all of the
updates we expected to see.
This change introduces two new global procs:
ui_status $msg; # Sets the status bar to show $msg.
ui_ready; # Changes the status bar to show "Ready."
The second (special) form is used because we often update the area
with this message once we are done processing a block of work and
want the user to know we have completed it.
I'm not fixing the cases that appear in lib/branch.tcl right now
as I'm actually in the middle of a huge refactoring of that code
to support making a detached HEAD checkout.

If the current branch is not a symbolic-ref that points to a
name in the refs/heads/ namespace we now just assume that the
head is a detached head. In this case we return the special
branch name of HEAD rather than empty string, as HEAD is a
valid revision specification and the empty string is not.
I have also slightly improved the current-branch function by
using string functions to parse the symbolic-ref data. This
should be slightly faster than using a regsub. I think the
code is clearer too.

In some workflows users will want to almost always just create a new
local branch that matches a remote branch. In this type of workflow
it is handy to have the new branch dialog default to "Match Tracking

of workflow at least two mouse clicks every time they create a new

Some newer features of git-gui want to rely on features that are
new to Git 1.5.3. Since they were added as part of the 1.5.3
development series we cannot use those features with versions of
Git that are older than 1.5.3, such as from the stable 1.5.2 series.
We introduce [git-version >= 1.5.3] to allow the caller to get a
response of 0 if the current version of git is < 1.5.3 and 1 if
the current version of git is >= 1.5.3. This makes it easy to
setup conditional code based upon the version of Git available to
us at runtime.
Instead of parsing the version text by hand we now use the Tcl
[package vcompare] subcommand to compare the two version strings.
This works nicely, as Tcl as already done all of the hard work
of doing version comparsions. But we do have to remove the Git
specific components such as the Git commit SHA-1, commit count and
release candidate suffix (rc) as we want only the final release
version number.

git-gui: Don't require a .pvcsrc to create Tools/Migrate menu hack
git-gui: Don't nice git blame on MSYS as nice is not supported
git-gui: Don't require $DISPLAY just to get --version
The Tools/Migrate menu option is a hack just for me. Yes, that's
right, git-gui has a hidden feature that really only works for me,
and the users that I support within my day-job's great firewall.
The menu option is not supported outside of that environment.
In the past we only enabled Tools/Migrate if our special local
script 'gui-miga' existed in the proper location, and if there
was a special '.pvcsrc' in the top level of the working directory.
This latter test for the '.pvcsrc' file is now failing, as the file
was removed from all Git repositories due to changes made to other
tooling within the great firewall's realm.
I have changed the test to only work on Cygwin, and only if the
special 'gui-miga' is present. This works around the configuration
changes made recently within the great firewall's realm, but really
this entire Tools/Migrate thing should be abstracted out into some
sort of plugin system so other users can extend git-gui as they need.

Junio asked that we don't force the user to have a valid X11 server
configured in $DISPLAY just to obtain the output of `git gui version`.
This makes sense, the user may be an automated tool that is running
without an X server available to it, such as a build script or other
sort of package management system. Or it might just be a user working
in a non-GUI environment and wondering "what version of git-gui do I
have installed?".
Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment
can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have
ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have
used this trick to escape away the 'exec wish' that is actually a Bourne
shell script and keep Tcl from executing it.
I'm using that feature here to comment out the Bourne shell script and
hide it from the Tcl engine. Except now our Bourne shell script is a
few lines long and checks to see if it should print the version, or not.

Because Tk does not assure us the order that it will process

Apparently git-commit.sh (the command line commit user interface in
core Git) always gives precedence to the prior commit's message if
`commit --amend` is used and a $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file also exists.
We actually were doing the same here in git-gui, but the amended
message got lost if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG already existed because
we started a rescan immediately after loading the prior commit's
body into the edit buffer. When that happened the rescan found
MERGE_MSG existed and replaced the commit message buffer with the
contents of that file. This meant the user never saw us pick up
the commit message of the prior commit we are about to replace.
Johannes Sixt <J.Sixt@eudaptics.com> found this bug in git-gui by
running `git cherry-pick -n $someid` and then trying to amend the
prior commit in git-gui, thus combining the contents of $someid
with the contents of HEAD, and reusing the commit message of HEAD,
not $someid. With the recent changes to make cherry-pick use the
$GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file Johannes saw git-gui pick up the message
of $someid, not HEAD. Now we always use HEAD if we are amending.

Git has supported remote branch deletion for quite some time, but
I've just never gotten around to supporting it in git-gui. Some
workflows have users push short-term branches to some remote Git
repository, then delete them a few days/weeks later when that topic
has been fully merged into the main trunk. Typically in that style
of workflow the user will want to remove the branches they created.
We now offer a "Delete..." option in the Push menu, right below the
generic "Push..." option. When the user opens our generic delete
dialog they can select a preconfigured remote, or enter a random
URL. We run `git ls-remote $url` to obtain the list of branches and
tags known there, and offer this list in a listbox for the user to
select one or more from.
Like our local branch delete dialog we offer the user a way to filter
their selected branch list down to only those branches that have been
merged into another branch. This is a very common operation as the
user will likely want to select a range of topic branches, but only
delete them if they have been merged into some sort of common trunk.
Unfortunately our remote merge base detection is not nearly as strict
as the local branch version. We only offer remote heads as the test
commit (not any local ones) and we require that all necessary commits
to successfully run git-merge-base are available locally. If one or
more is missing we suggest that the user run a fetch first.
Since the Git remote protocol doesn't let us specify what the tested
commit was when we evaluated our decision to execute the remote delete
there is a race condition here. The user could do a merge test against
the trunk, determine a topic branch was fully merged, but before they
can start pushing the delete request another user could fast-forward
the remote topic branch to a new commit that is not merged into the
trunk. The delete will arrive after, and remove the topic, even though
it was not fully merged.

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.

In some workflows it is common for a large number of temporary
branches to be created in a remote repository, get fetched to
clients that typically only use git-gui, and then later have
those branches deleted from the remote repository once they have
been fully merged into all destination branches. Users of git-gui
would obviously like to have their local tracking branches cleaned
up for them, otherwise their local tracking branch namespace would
grow out of control.
The best known way to remove these tracking branches is to run
"git remote prune <remotename>". Even though it is more of a
Porcelain command than plumbing I'm invoking it through the UI,
because frankly I don't see a reason to reimplement its ls-remote
output filtering and config file parsing.
A new configuration option (gui.pruneduringfetch) can be used to
automatically enable running "git remote prune <remotename>" after
the fetch of that remote also completes successfully. This is off
by default as it require an additional network connection and is
not very fast on Cygwin if a large number of tracking branches have
been removed (due to the 2 fork+exec calls per branch).

Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location
of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding
it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user
wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the
packager wanted them to be installed into.
Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master
git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib.
This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix.
If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script

Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime

A coworker who was new to git-gui recently tried to make an octopus

really don't want to perform an octopus merge this additional safety

Uwe Kleine-König discovered git-gui mangled his surname and did
not send the proper UTF-8 byte sequence to git-commit-tree when
his name appeared in the commit message (e.g. Signed-Off-By line).
Turns out this was related to other trouble that I had in the past
with trying to use "fconfigure $fd -encoding $enc" to select the
stream encoding and let Tcl's IO engine do all of the encoding work
for us. Other parts of git-gui were just always setting the file
channels to "-encoding binary" and then performing the encoding
work themselves using "encoding convertfrom" and "convertto", as
that was the only way I could make UTF-8 filenames work properly.
I found this same bug in the amend code path, and in the blame
display. So its fixed in all three locations (commit creation,
reloading message for amend, viewing message in blame).

I got a little surprise one day when I tried to run 'git gui version'

installed on that system. Turns out we were doing the repository
check long before we got around to command line argument handling.
We now look to see if the only argument we have been given is
'version' or '--version', and if so, print out the version and
exit immediately; long before we consider looking at the Git

Johannes Sixt noticed that git-gui would not let the user commit

Mark Levedahl noticed that git-gui will let you create an empty
normal (non-merge) commit if the file state in the index is out
of whack. The case Mark was looking at was with the new autoCRLF
feature in git enabled and is actually somewhat difficult to create.
I found a different way to create an empty commit: turn on the
Trust File Modifications flag, touch a file, rescan, then move
the file into the "Changes To Be Committed" list without looking
at the file's diff. This makes git-gui think there are files
staged for commit, yet the update-index call did nothing other
than refresh the stat information for the affected file. In
this case git-gui allowed the user to make a commit that did
not actually change anything in the repository.
Creating empty commits is usually a pointless operation; rarely
does it record useful information. More often than not an empty
commit is actually an indication that the user did not properly
update their index prior to commit. We should help the user out
by detecting this possible mistake and guiding them through it,
rather than blindly recording it.
After we get the new tree name back from write-tree we compare
it to the parent commit's tree; if they are the same string and
this is a normal (non-merge, non-amend) commit then something
fishy is going on. The user is making an empty commit, but they
most likely don't want to do that. We now pop an informational
dialog and start a rescan, aborting the commit.

Because we bypassed main window UI setup to enter blame mode we
did not set many of the globals which were accessed by reshow_diff,
and reading unset variables is an error in Tcl.
Aside from moving the globals to be set earlier, I also modified
reshow_diff to not invoke clear_diff if there is no path currently

of git that we can expect to support.
There actually are early releases of 1.5 (e.g. 1.5.0-rc0) that

kept loosing the annotation marker when a line was no longer colored

To help clue users into the fact that annotation data arrives
incrementally, and that they should try to locate the region
they want while the tool is running, we jump to the first line
of the first annotation if the user has not already clicked on
a line they are interested in and if the window is still looking
at the very top of the file.
Since it takes a second (at least on my PowerBook) to even generate
the first annotation for git-gui.sh, the user should have plenty of
time to adjust the scrollbar or click on a line even before we get
that first annotation record in, which allows the user to bypass
our automatic jumping.

Using 180 columns worth of screen space to display just 20 columns of
file data and 160 columns worth of annotation information is not

the anotation associated with it displayed in a detail pane only when
they have focused on a particular region of the file.
Now our file viewer has a small 10-line high pane below the file
which shows the commit message for the commit this line was blamed
on. The columns have all been removed, except the current line
number column as that has some real value when trying to locate an
interesting block.
To keep the user entertained we have a progress meter in the status
bar of the viewer which lets them know how many lines have been
annotated, and how much has been completed. We use a grey background
on the line numbers for lines which we have obtained annotation from,
and we color all lines in the current commit with a yellow background,
so they stand out when scanning through the file. All other lines
are kept with a white background, making the yellow really pop.

Running on Cygwin is different than if we were running through MinGW.
In the Cygwin case we have cygpath available to us, we need to perform
UNIX<->Windows path translation sometimes, and we need to perform odd
things like spawning our own login shells to perform network operations.
But in the MinGW case these don't occur. Git knows native Windows file
paths, and login shells may not even exist.
Now git-gui will avoid running cygpath unless it knows its on Cygwin.
It also uses a different shortcut type when Cygwin is not present, and
it avoids invoking /bin/sh to execute hooks if Cygwin is not present.
This latter part probably needs more testing in the MinGW case.
This change also improves how we start gitk. If the user is on any type
of Windows system its known that gitk won't start right if ~/.gitk exists.
So we delete it before starting if we are running on any type of Windows
operating system. We always use the same wish executable which launched
git-gui to start gitk; this way on Windows we don't have to jump back to
/bin/sh just to go into the first wish found in the user's PATH. This
should help on MinGW when we probably don't want to spawn a shell just
to start gitk.

based on the operating system and the available browsers for each.
We prefer documentation which is installed parallel to Git's own

use that, but level 2 is the core Git default right now so we'll use
the same default in git-gui.

Anytime we use a listbox to show branch names its possible for the
listbox to exceed 10 entries (actually its probably very common).
So we should always offer a scrollbar for the Y axis on these
listboxes. I just forgot to add it when I defined them.

If the user is in the middle of a commit they have files which are
modified. These may conflict with any merge that they may want
to perform, which would cause problems if the user wants to abort
a bad merge as we wouldn't have a checkpoint to roll back onto.

If an octopus merge goes horribly wrong git-merge will leave the
working directory and index dirty, but will not leave behind a
MERGE_HEAD file for a later commit. Consequently we won't know
its a merge commit and instead would let the user resolve the
conflicts and commit a single-parent commit, which is wrong.
So now if an octopus merge fails we notify the user that the
merge did not work, tell them we will reset the working directory,
and suggest that they merge one branch at a time. This prevents
the user from committing a bad octopus merge.

I got slightly confused when I did two merges in a row, as the status
bar said "merge completed successfully" while the second merge was
still running. Now we show what branches are actively being merged.

If you get into the middle of a merge that turns out to be horrible
and just not something you want to do right now, odds are you need
to run `git reset --hard` to recover your working directory to a
pre-merge state.
We now offer Merge->Abort Merge for exactly this purpose, however
its also useful to thow away a non-merge, as its basically the same
logic as `git reset --hard`.

To allow users to merge local heads and tracking branches we now offer
a dialog which lets the user select 1-15 branches and merge them using
the stock `git merge` Grand Unified Merge Driver.
Originally I had wanted to implement this merge internally within git-gui
as I consider GUMD to be mostly Porcelain-ish, but the truth is it does
its job exceedingly well and its a relatively complex chunk of code.
I'll probably circle back later and try to remove the invocation of GUMD
from git-gui, but right now it lets me get the job done faster.
Users cannot start a merge if they are currently in the middle of one,
or if they are amending a commit. Trying to do either is just stupid
and should be stopped as early as possible.
I've also made it simple for users to startup a gitk session prior to
a merge by offering a Visualize button which runs `gitk $revs --not HEAD`,
where $revs is the list of branches currently selected in the merge
dialog. This makes it quite simple to find out what the damage will
be to the current branch if you were to carry out the currently proposed
merge.

Technically the new git-gc command is strictly Porcelain; its invoking
multiple plumbing commands to do its work. Since git-gui tries to not
rely on Porclain we shouldn't be invoking git-gc directly, instead we
should perform its tasks on our own.
To make this easy I've created console_chain, which takes a list of
tasks to perform and runs them all in the same console window. If
any individual task fails then the chain stops running and the window
shows a failure bar. Only once all tasks have been completed will it
invoke console_done with a successful status.

Because I want to be able to run multiple output-producing commands
in a single 'console' window within git-gui I'm refactoring the
console handling routines to require the "after" argument of console_exec.
This should specify a procedure to execute which will receive two args,
the first is the console window handle and the second is the status of
the last command (0 on failure, 1 on success).
A new procedure console_done can be passed to the last console_exec
command to forward perform all cleanup and enable the Close button.
Its status argument is used to update the final status bar on the
bottom of the console window.
This isn't any real logic changing, and no new functionality is in
this patch.

Right now `git-push -v` is actually not that verbose; it merely adds
the URL it is pushing to. This can be informative if you are pushing
to a configured remote, as you may not actually remember what URL that
remote is connected to. That detail can be important if the push
fails and you attempt to communicate the errors to a 3rd party to help
you resolve the issue.

Because we aren't going to support single click pulling of changes from
an existing remote anytime in the near future, I'm moving the code which
used to perform that action. Hopefully we'll be able to do something
like it in the near-future, but also support local branches just as
easily.

Because its common for some users to push topic branches to a remote
repository for review and merging by other parties, users need an
easy way to push one or more branches to a remote repository without
needing to edit their .git/config file anytime their set of active
branches changes.
We now provide a basic 'Push...' menu action in the Push menu which
opens a dialog allowing the user to select from their set of local
branches (refs/heads, minus tracking branches). The user can designate
which repository to send the changes to by selecting from an already
configured remote or by entering any valid Git URL.

Anytime we are using lsearch we are doing [lsearch -sorted] and we
are applying it to file paths (or file path like things). Its valid
for these to contain special glob characters, but when that happens
we do not want globbing to occur. Instead we really need exact
match semantics. Always supplying -exact to lsearch will ensure that
is the case.

I just noticed that a file was always jumping to compare against HEAD
and the index during a refresh, even if the diff viewer was comparing
the index against the working directory prior to the refresh. The
bug turned out to be caused by a foreach loop going through all file
list names searching for the path. Since $ui_index was the first one
searched and the file was contained in that file list the loop broke
out, leaving $w set to $ui_index when it had been set by the caller
to $ui_workdir. Silly bug caused by using a parameter as a loop
index.

Its pointless to switch to the current branch, so don't do it. We
are already on it and the current index and working directory should
just be left alone.
