5821988f97 git-gui: Implement "Stage/Unstage Line"
This adds a context menu entry below "Stage/Unstage Hunk" that stages or
unstages just the line under the mouse pointer.

This is by itself useful, for example, if there are unrelated changes in
the same hunk and the hunk cannot be split by reducing the context.

The feature can also be used to split a hunk by staging a number of
additions (or unstaging a number of removals) until there are enough
context lines that the hunk gets split.

The implementation reads the complete hunk that the line lives in, and
constructs a new hunk by picking existing context lines, removing unneeded
change lines and transforming other change lines to context lines. The
resulting hunk is fed through 'git apply' just like in the "Stage/Unstage
Hunk" case.

f531e463f0 git-gui: Don't select the wrong file if the last listed file is staged.
Johannes Sixt noticed that if the last file in the list was staged, my
earlier patch would display the diff for the penultimate file, but show
the file _before_ that as being selected.

This was due to my misunderstanding the lno argument to show_diff.

This patch fixes the problem: lno is not decremented in the special case
to handle the last item in the list (though we still need to use $lno-1
to find the right path for the next diff).

cead78edef git-gui: Fix accidental staged state toggle when clicking top pixel row
If a text widget is asked the index at x,y with y == 0 or y == 1 it will
always return 1.0 as the nearest index, regardless of the x position.

This means that clicking the top 2 pixels of the Unstaged/Staged Changes
lists caused the state of the file there to be toggled. This patch
checks that the pixel clicked is greater than 1, so there is less chance
of accidentally staging or unstaging changes.

8a965b8ee2 git-gui: Move on to the next filename after staging/unstaging a change
Suppose the "Unstaged Changes" pane contains a list of files, and one of
them is selected (i.e., that diff is currently being displayed). If one
clicks on the icon to stage the change, git-gui clears the diff and one
has to click on another filename to see the next diff in the list.

This patch changes that behaviour. If one clicks on the icon to stage
(or unstage) the file whose diff is being displayed, git-gui will move
on to the next filename in the list and display that diff instead of a
blank diff pane. If the selected file was at the end of the list, the
diff pane will display the previous diff instead; if the selected file
was the only one listed, the diff pane will become blank.

If no diff is currently being displayed, this patch changes nothing.

7f83aa2d3d git-gui: Handle workdir detection when CYGWIN=nowinsymlinks
If the user has put nowinsymlinks into their CYGWIN environment
variable any symlinks created by a Cygwin process (e.g. ln -s)
will not have the ".lnk" suffix.  In this case workdir is still
a workdir, but our detection of looking for "info.lnk" fails
as the symlink is actually a normal file called "info".

Instead we just always use Cygwin's test executable to see if
info/exclude is a file.  If it is, we assume from there on it
can be read by git-ls-files --others and is thus safe to use
on the command line.

16dd62ac4d git-gui: Add a --trace command line option
Often new Git users want to know what commands git-gui uses to make
changes, so they can learn the command line interface by mimicking
what git-gui does in response to GUI actions.  Showing the direct
commands being executed is easy enough to implement but this is of
little value to end-users because git-gui frequently directly calls
plumbing, not porcelain.

Since the code is already written and tested, its fairly harmless
to include.  It may not help a new end-user, but it can help with
debugging git-gui or reverse-engineering its logic to further make
changes to it or implement another GUI for Git.

442b3caaee git-gui: Don't translate the special Apple menu
Peter Karlsson pointed out there is no value in translating the
string "Apple", as this is used as the dummy label for the Apple
menu on Mac OS X systems.

The Apple menu is actually not the menu with the Apple corporate
logo, but the menu next to it, which shows the name of the
application and is typically called the application menu.  Most users
of git-gui see this menu titled as "Git Gui".  The actual label of
this menu comes from our Info.plist file and cannot be specified
by any other means.  Translating this string in the Tcl PO files
is not necessary.

95b002eeb3 git-gui: Automatically spell check commit messages as the user types
Many user friendly tools like word processors, email editors and web
browsers allow users to spell check the message they are writing
as they type it, making it easy to identify a common misspelling
of a word and correct it on the fly.

We now open a bi-directional pipe to Aspell and feed the message
text the user is editing off to the program about once every 300
milliseconds.  This is frequent enough that the user sees the results
almost immediately, but is not so frequent as to cause significant
additional load on the system.  If the user has modified the message
text during the last 300 milliseconds we delay until the next period,
ensuring that we avoid flooding the Aspell process with a lot of
text while the user is actively typing their message.

We wait to send the current message buffer to Aspell until the user
is at a word boundary, thus ensuring that we are not likely to ask
for misspelled word detection on a word that the user is actively
typing, as most words are misspelled when only partially typed,
even if the user has thus far typed it correctly.

Misspelled words are highlighted in red and are given an underline,
causing the word to stand out from the others in the buffer.  This is
a very common user interface idiom for displaying misspelled words,
but differs from one platform to the next in slight variations.
For example the Mac OS X system prefers using a dashed red underline,
leaving the word in the original text color.  Unfortunately the
control that Tk gives us over text display is not powerful enough
to handle such formatting so we have to work with the least common
denominator.

The top suggestions for a misspelling are saved in an array and
offered to the user when they right-click (or on the Mac ctrl-click)
a misspelled word.  Selecting an entry from this menu will replace
the misspelling with the correction shown.  Replacement is integrated
with the undo/redo stack so undoing a replacement will restore the
misspelled original text.

If Aspell could not be started during git-gui launch we silently eat
the error and run without spell checking support.  This way users
who do not have Aspell in their $PATH can continue to use git-gui,
although they will not get the advanced spelling functionality.

If Aspell started successfully the version line and language are
shown in git-gui's about box, below the Tcl/Tk versions.  This way
the user can verify the Aspell function has been activated.

If Aspell crashes while we are running we inform the user with an
error dialog and then disable Aspell entirely for the rest of this
git-gui session.  This prevents us from fork-bombing the system
with Aspell instances that always crash when presented with the
current message text, should there be a bug in either Aspell or in
git-gui's output to it.

We escape all input lines with ^, as recommended by the Aspell manual
page, as this allows Aspell to properly ignore any input line that is
otherwise looking like a command (e.g. ! to enable terse output).  By
using this escape however we need to correct all word offsets by -1 as
Aspell is apparently considering the ^ escape to be part of the line's
character count, but our Tk text widget obviously does not.

Available dictionaries are offered in the Options dialog, allowing
the user to select the language they want to spellcheck commit
messages with for the current repository, as well as the global
user setting that all repositories inherit.

Special thanks to Adam Flott for suggesting connecting git-gui
to Aspell for the purpose of spell checking the commit message,
and to Wincent Colaiuta for the idea to wait for a word boundary
before passing the message over for checking.

ed76cb70f4 git-gui: Consolidate hook execution code into a single function
The code we use to test if a hook is executable or not differs on
Cygwin from the normal POSIX case.  Rather then repeating that for
all three hooks we call in our commit code path we can place the
common logic into a global procedure and invoke it when necessary.

This also lets us get rid of the ugly "|& cat" we were using before
as we can now rely on the Tcl 8.4 feature of "2>@1" or fallback to
the "|& cat" when necessary.

The post-commit hook is now run through the same API, but its outcome
does not influence the commit status.  As a result we now show any of
the errors from the post-commit hook in a dialog window, instead of on
the user's tty that was used to launch git-gui.  This resolves a long
standing bug related to not getting errors out of the post-commit hook
when launched under git-gui.

24f7c64b21 git-gui: offer a list of recent repositories on startup
If git-gui is started outside a work tree the repository chooser

any list entry directly opens the repository.

The list of recently opened repositories is stored in the config
as the multi-valued option gui.recentrepo. If the list grows beyond
10 entries it will be truncated by removing one of the older entries.

Only repositories that are opened through the repository chooser
will get added to the recent list.  Repositories opened from the
shell will not yet be added to the recent list, as users are likely
to have a way to easily return to the same directory via their shell.

at the right (with the commit area below it).

  +----------+---------------------+
  | Unstaged |  Diff area          |

The advantages are:

Here we didn't have any items to add to the Fetch menu so it was a

We now place all of the commands related to fetching and pushing of

of bucket that we can drop additional remote related items into such
as doing a remote merge or editing the remote configuration specs.

The shortcuts to execute fetch/remote prune/push on existing remote
specifications are now actually submenus listing the remotes by name.

501e4c6f23 git-gui: Allow gitk to be started on Cygwin with native Tcl/Tk
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.

0b2bc460fc git-gui: Refer to ourselves as "Git Gui" and not "git-gui"
When displaying the name of the application in window titles
and menu options (e.g. "About [appname]") we would prefer to
call ourselves "Git Gui" over "git-gui" as the former name is
now being actively used in the Mac OS X UI strings and just
plain looks better to the reader.

1bdd8a1535 git-gui: Use Henrik Nyh's git logo icon on Windows systems
Rather than displaying the stock red "Tk" icon in our window
title bars and on the task bar we now show a Git specific logo.
This is Henrik Nyh's logo that we also use in the startup wizard,
scaled to a 16x16 image for Windows task bar usage with a proper
transparent background.

ab08b36304 git-gui: Allow users to choose/create/clone a repository
If we are started outside of a git repository than it is likely
the user started us from some sort of desktop shortcut icon in
the operating system.  In such a case the user is expecting us to
prompt them to locate the git repository they want to work on,
or to help them make a new repository, or to clone one from an
existing location.  This is a very simple wizard that offers the
user one of these three choices.

When we clone a repository we always use the name `master` in the
local repository, even if the remote side does not appear to point
to that name.  I chose this as a policy decision.  Much of the Git
documentation talks about `master` being the default branch in a
repository and that's what git-init does too.  If the remote side
doesn't call its default branch `master` most users just don't care,
they just want to use Git the way the documentation describes.

Rather than relying on the git-clone Porcelain that ships with
git we build the new repository ourselves and then obtain content
by git-fetch.  This technique simplifies the entire clone process
to roughly: `git init && git fetch && git pull`.  Today we use
three passes with git-fetch; the first pass gets us the bulk of
the objects and the branches, the second pass gets us the tags,
and the final pass gets us the current value of HEAD to initialize
the default branch.

If the source repository is on the local disk we try to use a
hardlink to connect the objects into the new clone as this can
be many times faster than copying the objects or packing them and
passing the data through a pipe to index-pack.  Unlike git-clone
we stick to pure Tcl [file link -hard] operation thus avoiding the
need to fork a cpio process to setup the hardlinks.  If hardlinks
do not appear to be supported (e.g. filesystem doesn't allow them or
we are crossing filesystem boundaries) we use file copying instead.

a4bee59713 git-gui: Refactor some UI init to occur earlier
I'm starting to setup a main window that the user can use to
locate an existing repository, clone an existing repository,
or create a new repository from scratch.  To help do that I
want most of our common UI support already defined before we
start to look for the Git repository, this way if it was not
found we can open a window to help the user locate it.

2fe167b67a git-gui: Ensure .git/info/exclude is honored in Cygwin workdirs
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.

299077fb40 git-gui: Handle starting on mapped shares under Cygwin
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.

183a1d1496 git-gui: Display message box when we cannot find git in $PATH
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.

2f7c9a7f31 git-gui: Support native Win32 Tcl/Tk under Cygwin
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.
