Gitk can search for commits touching a specified path. The search text is
always treated as a regular expression, regardless of the matching option
selected (Exact, IgnCase, or Regexp). In particular, backslashes escape
the next character. This is inconvenient on Windows systems, where backslashes
are the norm for path specifiers, for example when copy/pasting from
Windows Explorer or a cmd shell -- these copy-pasted paths must be manually
modified in the gitk search text edit box before they will work.
This change uses the match option "Exact" to mean that a slash is a slash,
not part of a regular expression. Backslashes are converted to frontslashes
before searching, thus allowing easy copy/pasting of paths on Windows
systems. If the previous behaviour of "touching paths" search is desired,
simply select the "Regexp" search mode.
One potential drawback is that the default setting for the match option
($findtype in the code) is "Exact", and so this change alters the default
behaviour, which may confuse users and lead to bug reports.

"git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree" is currently used to determine
whether to show modified files in gitk (the red and green fake
commits). This does not work if the current directory is not inside
the work tree, as can be the case e.g. if GIT_WORK_TREE is
set. Instead, check if the repository is not bare and that we are not
inside the .git directory.

Since 5024baa ([PATCH] Make gitk work when launched in a subdirectory,
2007-01-09), gitk has used 'git rev-parse --git-dir' to find the .git
directory. However, gitk still first checks for the $GIT_DIR
environment variable and that the value returned from git-rev-parse
does not point to a file. Since git-rev-parse does both of these
checks already, the checks can safely be removed from gitk. This makes
the gitdir procedure small enough to inline.
This cleanup introduces a UI regression in that the error message will
now be "Cannot find a git repository here." even in the case where
GIT_DIR points to a file, for which the error message was previously
"Cannot find the git directory \"%s\".". It should be noted, though,
that even before this patch, 'gitk --git-dir=path/to/some/file' would
give the former error message.

should therefore no longer be necessary to call the procedure with the
same name (more than once to set the global variable). Remove the
other call sites and use the global variable instead.

When running "External diff" from gitk, the "from" and "to" files will
first be copied into a directory that is currently
".git/../.gitk-tmp.$pid". When gitk is closed, the directory is
deleted. When the work tree is not at ".git/.." (which is supported
since the previous commit), that directory may not even be git-related
and it does not seem unlikely that permissions may not allow the
temporary directory to be created there. Move the directory inside
.git instead.
This introduces a regression in the case that the .git directory
is readonly, but .git/.. is writeable.

The "highlight this only" and "highlight this too" commands in gitk
add the path relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE to the "Find" input box. When
the search (using git-diff-tree) is run, the paths are used
unmodified, except for some shell escaping. Since the search is run
from gitk's working directory, no commits matching the paths will be
found if gitk was started in a subdirectory.
Make the paths passed to git-diff-tree relative to gitk's working
directory instead of being relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE. If, however,
gitk is run outside of the working directory (e.g. with $GIT_WORK_TREE
set), we still need to use the path relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE.

This fixes errors running with release candidate versions of Git:
Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.7.4-rc0"
Also, $git_version is no longer artificially limited to three

("gitk: Handle msysGit version during version comparisons") to deal
with msysGit version strings like “1.6.4.msysgit.0”, and we don’t need
it now. Hence as another side effect, this enables showing notes with

Apparently a "feature" of Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X is that a disabled text

makes the diff viewer almost useless on that platform as you cannot

Starting from ~ git-1.6.6, log, show & whatchanged show notes by default.
On the other hand, gitk does not show notes by default, because under
the hood it calls 'git log --pretty=raw ...' to get the log, and in
'git log' notes are turned off when user specifies format or pretty
settings.
Yes, it is possible to invoke 'gitk --show-notes' explicitly, but since
from user's perspective, gitk is gui enabled git log, it would be
logical for gitk to show notes by default too for consistency.
In git, --show-notes was introduced in 66b2ed (Fix "log" family not to
be too agressive about showing notes) which predates 1.6.6.2.
Notes can still be supressed with 'gitk --no-notes'.

When run in the top-level directory of a git repository, "git

The function make_relative then tries to make the already relative
path relative, which results in a path like "../../../../Makefile"
with as many ".." as there are elements of [pwd].
This regression was introduced by commit 9712b81 (gitk: Fix bugs in

checkbuttons and radiobuttons look rather bad.
This restores the previous appearance by specifying selectColor

for dark backgrounds we use black. The formula and threshold for

it eliminates the need to start a gitk inside the submodule and use
