cea07cf8dc gitk: Add accelerators to frequently used menu commands
This commit documents keyboard accelerators used for menu
commands in the menu, as it is usually done, and adds some
more, e.g. F4 to invoke Edit View (or New View if the current
view is the un-editable "All files" view).

The changes include a workaround for handling Shift-F4 on
systems where XKB binds special XF86_Switch_VT_* symbols
to Ctrl-Alt-F* combinations.  Tk often receives these codes
when Shift-F* is pressed, so it is necessary to bind the
relevant actions to them as well.

218a900bd8 gitk: Implement a user-friendly Edit View dialog
Originally gitk required the user to specify all limiting
options manually in the same field with the list of commits.
It is rather unfriendly for new users, who may not know
which options can be used, or, indeed, that it is possible
to specify them at all.

This commit modifies the dialog to present the most useful
options as individual fields.  Note that options that may
be useful to an extent, but produce a severely broken view,
are deliberately not included.

It is still possible to specify options in the commit list
field, but when the dialog is reopened, they will be extracted
into their own separate fields.

887a791f11 gitk: Improve cherry-pick error handling
This adds to the regexps that are used to work out what sort of error
we encountered in trying to do a cherry-pick so that it recognizes
some additional common error messages.  It adds a confirmation dialog
when the error is a merge conflict so the user can choose whether or
not to run git citool.  Finally, it arranges to update the display
after a cherry-pick failed so that any local changes made by the
cherry-pick become visible.

84a76f18f0 gitk: Make gitk dialog windows transient
Transient windows are always kept above their parent, and don't occupy
any space in the taskbar, which is useful for dialogs.  Also, when
transient is used, it is important to bind windows to the correct
parent.

This commit adds transient annotations to all dialogs, ensures usage
of the correct parent for error and confirmation popups, and, as a
side job, makes gitk preserve the create tag dialog window in case of
errors.

48a81b7cda gitk: Cope with unmerged files in local changes
This modifies gettreediffline so that it when we get both a "U" line
and an "M" line for the same file in the output from git diff-files
or git diff-index --cached (used when the user clicks on a fake commit)
we don't add the same filename to the treediff list twice.

This also makes getblobdiffline recognize the "* Unmerged path ..."
lines we get when we ask for the actual diffs, and makes a tiny
optimization in makediffhdr.

fc4977e1b9 gitk: Make "show origin of this line" work on fake commits
This makes the "Show origin of this line" menu item work correctly
on the fake commits that gitk shows for local uncommitted changes.
With the fake commit for changes that aren't checked in to the index,
we can actually get a 3-way diff shown, which means we might have to
blame either the parent or the commit being merged in (which we get
from .git/MERGE_HEAD).

If the parent is the fake commit which shows the changes that have
been checked in to the index, then we need to get the SHA1 of the blob
for the version of the file that is in the index, then use git cat-file
blob to get the contents of the blob, and give that to git blame with --contents - so that git blame will do the blame on the index version
of the file.  In that case, we might get the all-zeroes SHA1 back from
git blame, meaning that the line is new in the index version of the
file, so then we have to use $nullid2 (the pseudo-SHA1 of the fake
commit for the checked-in changes).

8b07dca18a gitk: Unify handling of merge diffs with normal 2-way diffs
This adds code to getblobdiffline to make it able to recognize and
display merge diffs (i.e. N-way diffs for N >= 3) as well as normal
two-way diffs.  This means that it can also correctly display the
3-way diff of the local changes when the git repository is in the
middle of a merge with conflicts.

This also removes getmergediffline and changes mergediff to invoke
getblobdiffline rather than getmergediffline.

190ec52c90 gitk: Fix some off-by-one errors in computing which line to blame
When walking back from the line where a right-click happened to the
previous hunk separator line to calculate the line number to work on,
we were counting every line including the one clicked on.  That isn't
right; if the user clicked on the line immediately after the hunk
separator then the correct line number would be the one from the
hunk separator.  Therefore this looks at the clicked-on line to work
out which parent to blame (or whether to blame the current commit),
and then looks only at the preceding lines to work out the offset from
the line number in the hunk separator.

This also fixes an off-by-one error when we are showing files rather
than diffs.  In this case diff_menu_filebase is the line number of
the banner showing the file name, so the first line of the file is
at line $diff_menu_filebase + 1.

This also simplifies the code in find_hunk_blamespec a bit and arranges
that we don't pop up the context menu if the user clicks on a file
separator line or a hunk separator line.

d375ef9b14 gitk: Turn short SHA1 names into links too
This changes the link detection logic to accept strings of between 6
and 40 hex characters as a possible SHA1 ID of another commit, rather
than insisting on seeing the full 40 hex characters.

To make the logic that turns a possible link into an actual link work
with abbreviated IDs, this changes the way the commitinterest array is
used, and puts the code that deals with it in a pair of new functions.
The commitinterest array is now indexed by just the first 4 characters
of the interesting SHA1 ID, and each element is a list of id + command
pairs.  This also pulls out the logic for expanding an abbreviated
SHA1 to the list of matching full IDs into its own function (the way
it is done is still the same slow way it was done before, which should
be improved some day).

This also fixes the bug where clicking on a link would take you to the
wrong commit if the line number of the target had changed since the
link was made.

This is based on a patch by Linus Torvalds, but totally rewritten by me.

f2d0bbbd68 gitk: New way of constructing menus that allows for Alt+letter accelerators
This is inspired by patches from Robin Rosenberg but takes a different
approach.  This adds a "makemenu" procedure for constructing menus
that allows the menu layout to be specified in a clear fashion, and
provides one place where the alt+letter accelerators can be detected
and handled.

The alt+letter accelerator is specified by putting an ampersand (&)
before the letter for the accelerator in the menu item name.  (Two
ampersands in succession produce one ampersand in the menu item as
it appears on screen.)  This is handled in makemenu.

We also add an mca procedure which is like mc but also does the
ampersand translation, for use when we want to refer to a menu item
by name.  The mca name and the locations where we use it were
shamelessly stolen from Robin Rosenberg's patch.

This doesn't actually add any alt+letter accelerators yet.

39ee47ef06 gitk: Clean up file encoding code and add enable/disable option
This adds an option allowing the user to select whether gitk should
look up per-file encoding settings using git check-attr or not.  If
not, gitk uses the global encoding set in the git config (as reported
by git config --get gui.encoding) for all files, or if that is not
set, then the system encoding.

The option is controlled by a checkbox in the Edit->Preferences
window, and defaults to off for now because git check-attr is so
slow.  When the user turns it on we discard any cached diff file
lists in treediffs, because we may not have encodings cached for
the files listed in those lists, meaning that getblobdiffline will
do it for each file, which will be really really slow.

This adjusts the limit of how many paths cache_gitattr passes to each
instance of git check-attr depending on whether we're running under
windows or not.  Passing only 30 doesn't effectively amortize the
startup costs of git check-attr, but it's all we can do under windows
because of the 32k limit on arguments to a command.  Under other OSes
we pass up to 1000.

Similarly we adjust how many lines gettreediffline processes depending
on whether we are doing per-file encodings so that we don't run for
too long.  When we are, 500 seems to be a reasonable limit, leading
to gettreediffline taking about 60-70ms under Linux (almost all of
which is in cache_gitattr, unfortunately).  This means that we can
take out the update call in cache_gitattr.

This adds a simple cache on [tclencoding].  Now that we get repeated
calls to translate the same encoding, this is useful.

This reindents the new code added in the last couple of commits to
conform to the gitk 4-space indent and makes various other improvements:
use regexp in gitattr and cache_gitattr instead of split + join + regsub,
make gui_encoding be the value from [tclencoding] to avoid having to
do [tcl_encoding $gui_encoding] in each call to get_path_encoding,
and print a warning message at startup if $gui_encoding isn't
supported by Tcl.

4db09304f9 gitk: Implement batch lookup and caching of encoding attrs
When the diff contains thousands of files, calling git-check-attr once
per file is very slow.  With this patch gitk does attribute lookup in
batches of 30 files while reading the diff file list, which leads to a
very noticeable speedup.

It may be possible to reimplement this even more efficiently, if
git-check-attr is modified to support a --stdin-paths option.
Additionally, it should quote the ':' character in file paths, or
provide a more robust way of column separation.

09c7029dfa gitk: Enhance file encoding support
This allows the encoding to be specified for file contents and used
when displaying files and diffs in the bottom-left pane.  When
displaying diffs, the encoding for each diff hunk is that for the file
that the diff hunk is from, so it can change through the course of the
diff.

The encoding for file contents is determined as follows:

- File encoding defaults to the system encoding.
- It can be overridden by setting the gui.encoding option.
- Finally, the 'encoding' attribute is checked on
  per-file basis; it has the last word.

Note: Since git-check-attr does not provide support for reading
attributes from trees, attribute lookup is done using files from the
working directory.

This also extends the range of supported encoding names, adding
ShiftJIS and Shift-JIS as aliases for Shift_JIS, and allowing
cp-*, cp_*, ibm-*, ibm_*, jis-* and jis_* as aliases for cp*,
ibm* and jis* respectively.

This also fixes some bugs in handling of non-ASCII filenames.  Core
git apparently supports only locale-encoded filenames, so processing
is done using the system encoding.

displayed rows when we cleared the canvases.  Thus make_secsel would
think it had something to do when it didn't.

Thanks to Michele Ballabio for finding a way to trigger the bug
reliably.

08ba820fd7 gitk: Add a progress bar for checking out a head
Now that git checkout reports progress when checking out files, we
can use that to provide a progress bar in gitk.  We re-use the green
progress bar (formerly used when reading stuff in) for that.

6df7403a98 gitk: Show current row number and total number of rows
This adds a couple of fields in the bar just below the upper panes
that show the row number of the currently selected commit, and how
many rows are displayed in total.  The latter increments as commits
are read in, and thus functions to show that progress is being made.
This therefore also removes the code that showed progress using a
green oscillating bar in the progress bar window (which some people
disliked).

314f5de1a0 gitk: Allow users to view diffs in external diff viewer
This allows gitk to run an external diff viewer such as meld.

Right-click on a file in the file list view gives "External diff"
popup menu entry, which launches the selected external diff tool.
The menu entry is only active in "Patch" mode, not in "Tree" mode.

The program to run to display the diff is configurable through
Edit/Preference/External diff tool.  The program is run with two
arguments, being the names of files containing the two versions to
diff.  Gitk will create temporary directories called
.gitk-tmp.<pid>/<n> to place these files in, and remove them when
it's finished.

If the file doesn't exist in one or other revision, gitk will supply
/dev/null as the name of the file on that side of the diff.  This may
need to be adjusted for Windows or MacOS.

[paulus@samba.org - cleaned up and rewrote some parts of the patch.]

f4c54b3cc4 gitk: Synchronize highlighting in file view for 'f' and 'b' commands
This is based on a patch by Eric Raible <raible@gmail.com>, but does
things a bit more simply.

Previously, 'b', backspace, and delete all did the same thing.
This changes 'b' to perform the inverse of 'f'.  And both of
them now highlight the filename of the currently diff.

This makes it easier to review and navigate the diffs associated
with a particular commit using only f, b, and space because the
filename of the currently display diff will be dynamically
highlighted.

ee66e089c1 gitk: Make updates go faster
This goes back to the method of doing updates where we translate the
revisions we're given to SHA1 ids and then remove the ones we've asked
for before or that we've already come across.  This speeds up updates
enormously in most cases since it means git log doesn't have to traverse
large parts of the tree.  We used to do this, but it had bugs, and commit
468bcaedbb (gitk: Don't filter view
arguments through git rev-parse) went to the slower method to avoid the
bugs.

In order to do this properly, we have to parse the command line and
understand all the flag arguments.  So this adds a parser that checks
all the flag arguments.  If there are any we don't know about, we
disable the optimization and just pass the whole lot to git log
(except for -d/--date-order, which we remove from the list).

With this we can then use git rev-parse on the non-flag arguments to
work out exactly what SHA1 ids are included and excluded in the list,
which then enables us to ask for just the new ones when updating.
One wrinkle is that we have to turn symmetric diff arguments (of the
form a...b) back into symmetric diff form so that --left-right still
works, as git rev parse turns a...b into a b ^merge_base(a,b).

This also updates a couple of copyright notices.

5e3502dabb gitk: Disable "Reset %s branch to here" when on a detached head
When we are on a detached head - since gitk does not display where
we are - reset has no sense, so disable the relevant line on the
context menu, and point out to the user that we are on a detached head.

Otherwise, a reset from gitk when on a detached head returns the
error:

can't read "headids()": no such element in array
can't read "headids()": no such element in array
    while executing
