To help the user visually see which lines are associated with each other
in the file we attempt to sign a unique background color to each commit
and then render all text associated with that commit using that color.
This works out OK for a file which has very few commits in it; but
most files don't have that property.
What we really need to do is look at what colors are used by our
neighboring commits (if known yet) and pick a color which does not
conflict with our neighbor. If we have run out of colors then we
should force our neighbor to recolor too. Yes, its the graph coloring
problem.

Using a panedwindow to display the blame viewer's individual columns
just doesn't make sense. Most of the important data fits within the
columns we have allocated, and those that don't the leading part fits
and that's good enough. There are just too many columns within this
viewer to let the user sanely control individual column widths. This
change shouldn't really be an issue for most git-gui users as their
displays should be large enough to accept this massive dump of data.
We now also have a properly working horizontal scrollbar for the
current file data area. This makes it easier to get away with a

When we annotate a file and show its line data, we're already asking
for copy and movement detection (-M -C). This costs extra time, but
gives extra data. Since we are asking for the extra data we really

Real icons which seem to indicate going up to the parent (an up arrow)

This rather huge change provides a browser for the current branch. The

down through the tree. The icons used really stink, as I just copied in
icon which we already had. I really need to replace the file_dir and
file_uplevel icons with something more useful.
If the user double clicks on a file within the browser we open it in
a blame viewer. This makes use of the new incremental blame feature
that Linus just added yesterday to core Git. Fortunately the feature
will be in 1.5.0 final so we can rely on having it available here.
Since the blame engine is incremental the user will get blame data
for groups which can be determined early. Git will slowly fill in

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.

Users may want to be able to read Git documentation, even if they
are not command line users. There are many important concepts and
terms covered within the standard Git documentation which would be
useful to even non command line using people.
We now try to offer an 'Online Documentation' menu option within the
Help menu. First we try to guess to see what browser the user has
setup. We default to instaweb.browser, if set, as this is probably
accurate for the user's configuration. If not then we try to guess
based on the operating system and the available browsers for each.
We prefer documentation which is installed parallel to Git's own
executables, e.g. `git --exec-path`/../Documentation/index.html, as
that is how I typically install the HTML docs. If those are not found
then we open the documentation published on kernel.org.

OK, its official, I'm not reading documentation as well as I should be.
Core Git's merge.summary configuration option is used to control the

is not (and never has been) used to default the --no-summary command

confuse the two.

Changed our private merge summary config option to be the same as the
merge.summary option supported by core Git. This means setting the
"Show Merge Summary" flag in git-gui will have the same effect on
the command line.
In the same vein I've also added merge.verbosity to the gui options,
allowing the user to adjust the verbosity level of the recursive
merge strategy. I happen to like level 1 and suggest that other users
use that, but level 2 is the core Git default right now so we'll use
the same default in git-gui.
Unfortunately it appears as though core Git has broken support for
the merge.summary option, even though its still in the documentation
For the time being we should pass along --no-summary to git-merge if
merge.summary is false.

If the user is in the middle of a commit they have files which are

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.

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

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.

If we are displaying a diff for a DOS-style (CRLF) formatted file then
the Tk text widget would normally show the CR at the end of every line;
in most fonts this will come out as a square box. Rather than showing
this character we'll tag it with a tag which forces the character to
be elided away, so its not displayed. However since the character is
still within the text buffer we can still obtain it and supply it over
to `git apply` when staging or unstaging an individual hunk, ensuring
that the file contents is always fully preserved as-is.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Just like `git-add --interactive` we can now stage and unstage individual
hunks within a file, rather than the entire file at once. This works
on the basic idea of scanning backwards from the mouse position to
find the hunk header, then going forwards to find the end of the hunk.
Everything in that is sent to `git apply --cached`, prefixed by the
diff header lines.
We ignore whitespace errors while applying a hunk, as we expect the
user's pre-commit hook to catch any possible problems. This matches
our existing behavior with regards to adding an entire file with
no whitespace error checking.
Applying hunks means that we now have to capture and save the diff header
lines, rather than chucking them. Not really a big deal, we just needed
a new global to hang onto that current header information. We probably
could have recreated it on demand during apply_hunk but that would mean
we need to implement all of the funny rules about how to encode weird
path names (e.g. ones containing LF) into a diff header so that the
`git apply` process would understand what we are asking it to do. Much
simpler to just store this small amount of data in a global and replay
it when needed.
I'm making absolutely no attempt to correct the line numbers on the
remaining hunk headers after one hunk has been applied. This may
cause some hunks to fail, as the position information would not be
correct. Users can always refresh the current diff before applying a
failing hunk to work around the issue. Perhaps if we ever implement
hunk splitting we could also fix the remaining hunk headers.
Applying hunks directly means that we need to process the diff data in
binary, rather than using the system encoding and an automatic linefeed
translation. This ensures that CRLF formatted files will be able to be
fed directly to `git apply` without failures. Unfortunately it also means
we will see CRs show up in the GUI as ugly little boxes at the end of
each line in a CRLF file.

If the user selects a different branch from the Branch menu, or asks

This emulates the behavior of `git checkout branch` or the behavior

Its nice to know how many loose objects and roughly how much disk space
they are taking up, so that you can guestimate about when might be a

especially once the automatic keep-pack code in git-fetch starts to
be more widely used.
We now offer the output of count-objects -v in a nice little dialog
hung off the Repository menu. Our labels are slightly more verbose
than those of `count-objects -v`, so users will hopefully be able
to make better sense of what we are showing them here.
We probably should also offer pack file size information, and data
about *.idx files which exist which lack corresponding *.pack files

Git prefers that all log messages are encoding in UTF-8. So now when
git-gui generates the commit message it converts the commit message
text from the internal Tcl Unicode representation into a UTF-8 file.
The file is then fed as stdin to git-commit-tree. I had to start
using a file here rather than feeding the message in with << as
<< uses the system encoding, which we may not want.
When we reload a commit message via git-cat-file we are getting the
raw byte stream, with no encoding performed by Git itself. So unless
the new 'encoding' header appears in the message we should probably
assume it is utf-8 encoded; but if the header is present we need to
use whatever it claims.

Since git operates on filenames using the operating system encoding

Our internal diff viewer displays untracked files to help users see if
they should become tracked, or not. It is not meant as a full file
viewer that handles any sort of input. Consequently it is rather
unreasonable for users to expect us to show them very large files.
Some users may click on a very big file (and not know its very big)
then get surprised when Tk takes a long time to load the content and
render it, especially if their memory is tight and their OS starts to
swap processes out.
Instead we now limit the amount of data we load to the first 128 KiB
of any untracked file. If the file is larger than 128 KiB we display
a warning message at the top of our diff viewer to notify the user
that we are not going to load the entire thing. Users should be able
to recognize a file just by its first 128 KiB and determine if it
should be added to the repository or not.
Since we are loading 128 KiB we may as well scan it to see if the
file is binary. So I've removed the "first 8000 bytes" rule and
just allowed git-gui to scan the entire data chunk that it read in.
This is probably faster anyway if Tcl's [string range] command winds
up making a copy of the data.

A binary file can be very large, and showing the complete content of
one is horribly ugly and confusing. So we now use the same rule that

of the file we assume it is binary and refuse to show the content.
Given that we have loaded the entire content of the file into memory
we probably could just afford to search the whole thing, but we also
probably should not load multi-megabyte binary files either.

If we got an empty diff its probably because the modification time of
the file was changed but the file content hasn't been changed. Typically
this happens because an outside program modified the file and git-gui
was told to not run 'update-index --refresh', as the user generally
trusts file modification timestamps. But we can also get an empty diff
when a program undos a file change and still updates the modification
timestamp upon saving, but has undone the file back to the same as what
is in the index or in PARENT.
So even if gui.trustmtime is false we should still run a rescan on
an empty diff. This change also lets us cleanup the dialog message
that we show when this case occurs, as its no longer got anything to
do with Trust File Modification Timestamps.

Typically I'm creating all new branches with the same prefix, e.g. 'sp/'.
So its handy to be able to setup a repository (or global) level config
option for git gui which contains this initial prefix. Once set then
git-gui will load it into the new branch name field whenever a new
branch is being created.

New branches must have a name. An empty one is not a valid ref, but the

I refactored the common code related to tracking branch listing into
a new procedure all_tracking_branches. This saves a few lines and
should make the create and delete dialogs easier to maintain.
We now don't offer a radio button to create from a tracking branch
or merge-check a tracking branch if there are no tracking branches
known to git-gui. This prevents us from creating an empty option
list and letting the user try to shoot themselves in the foot by
asking us to work against an empty initial revision.

Some of my file paths in some of my repositories are very long, this
is rather typical in Java projects where the path name contains a deep
package structure and then the file name itself is rather long and
(hopefully) descriptive. Seeing these paths line wrap in the file lists
looks absolutely horrible. The entire rendering is almost unreadable.
Now we draw both horizontal and vertical scrollbars for both file lists,
and we never line wrap within the list text itself.

Because users who use git-gui are likely to also be using gitk, we
should at least match gitk's default colors and formatting within the
diff viewer.
Unfortunately this meant that I needed to change the background colors
of the hunks in a 'diff --cc' output, as the green used for 'added line'
was completely unreadable on the old color. We now use ivory1 to show
hunks which came from HEAD/parent^1, which are the portions that the
current branch has contributed, and are probably the user's own changes.
We use a very light blue for the portions which came from FETCH_HEAD,
as this makes the changes made by the other branch stand out more in the
diff.
I've also modified the hunk header lines to be blue, as that is how gitk
is showing them.
Apparently I forgot to raise the sel tag above everything else in the
diff viewer, which meant that selections in the diff viewer were not
visible if they were made on a 'diff --cc' hunk which had a background.
Its now the higest priority tag, ensuring the selection is always visible
and readable.

If a path is really unmerged, such as because it has been deleted and

Just like how we split out the local and remote branches into two
different pick lists for branch creation, we should do the same
thing for branch deletion. This means that there are really 3
modes of operation here:
* delete only if merged into designated local branch;
* delete only if merged into designated tracking (remote) branch;
* delete no matter what
So we now use radio buttons to select between these operations.
We still default to checking for merge into the current branch,
as that is probably the most commonly used behavior. It also is
what core Git's command line tools do.

Using a stack of frames in the Starting Revision section of the new
branch dialog turned out to be a mess. The varying lengths of each
label caused the optionMenu widgets to be spread around the screen
at unaligned locations, making the interface very kludgy looking.
Now we layout the major sections of the branch dialog using grid
rather than pack, allowing these widgets to line up vertically in
a nice neat column. All extra space is given to column 1, which is

Its impossible to commit an index which has unmerged stages.
Unfortunately a bug in git-gui allowed the user to try to do exactly that,
as we broke out of our file scanning loop as soon as we found a valid AMD
index state. That's wrong, as the files are coming back from our array
in pseudo-random order; an unmerged file may get returned only after all
merged files.
I also noticed the grammer around here in our dialog boxes still used
the term 'include', so this has been updated to reflect current usage.

Sometimes you want to just force the diff to redisplay itself without
rescanning every file in the filesystem (as that can be very costly
on large projects and slow operating systems). Now you can force a
diff-only refresh from the context menu. Previously you could also
do this by reclicking on the file name in the UI, but it may not be
obvious to all users, having a context menu option makes it more
clear.

A prior commit tried to use the old index state for the old working
directory state during a UI refresh of a file. This caused files
which were being unstaged (and thus becoming unmodified) to drop
out of the working directory side of the display, at least until
the user performed a rescan to force the UI to redisplay everything.

If the user switches the currently shown file from one side of the UI
to the other then how its diff is presented would be different. And
leaving the old diff up is downright confusing.
Since the diff is probably not interesting to the user after the switch
we should just clear the diff viewer. This saves the user time, as they
won't need to wait for us to reload the diff.

We were not correctly setting the old state of an index display to
_ if the index was previously unmerged. This caused us to try and
update a U->M when resolving a merge conflict but we were unable to
do so as the icon did not exist in the index viewer. Tk did not
like being asked to modify an icon which was undefined.
Now we always transform both the old and the new states for both
sides (index and working directory) prior to updating the UI.

Now that we are using 'git diff' to display unmerged working directory
files we are getting 'diff --cc' output rather than 'diff --combined'
output. Further the markers in the first two columns actually make
sense here, we shouldn't attempt to rewrite them to something else.
I've added 'diff --cc *' to the skip list in our diff viewer, as that
particular line is not very interesting to display.
I've completely refactored how we perform detection of the state of a
line during diff parsing; we now report an error message if we don't
understand the particular state of any given line. This way we know
if we aren't tagging something we maybe should have tagged in the UI.
I've also added special display of the standard conflict hunk markers
(<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>). These are formatted without a patch op
as the patch op is always '+' or '++' (meaning the line has been added
relative to the committed state) and are displayed in orange bold text,
sort of like the @@ or @@@ marker line is at the start of each hunk.
In a 3 way merge diff hunks which came from our HEAD are shown with a
azure2 background, and hunks which came from the incoming MERGE_HEAD
are displayed with a 'light goldenrod yellow' background. This makes
the two different hunks clearly visible within the file. Hunks which
are ++ or -- (added or deleted relative to both parents) are shown
without any background at all.

If a file has a merge conflict we want it to show up in the 'Changed
But Not Updated' file list rather than the 'Changes To Be Committed'
file list. This way the user can mostly ignore the left side (the
HEAD<->index comparsion) while resolving a merge and instead focus
on the merge conflicts, which are just shown on the right hand side.
This requires detecting the U state in the index side and drawing
it as though it were _, then forcing the working directory side to
have a U state. We have to delay this until presentation time as
we don't want to change our internal state data to be different
from what Git is telling us (I tried, the patch for that was ugly
and didn't work).
When showing a working directory diff and its a merge conflict we
don't want to use diff-files as this would wind up showing any
automatically merged hunks obtained from MERGE_HEAD in the diff.
These are not usually very interesting as they were completed by
the system. Instead we just want to see the conflicts. Fortunately
the diff porcelain-ish frontend (aka 'git diff') detects the case of
an unmerged file and generates a --cc diff against HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
So we now force any working directory diff with an index state of 'U'
to go through that difference path.

The combined diff format can be very confusing, especially to new users
who may not even be familiar with a standard two way diff format. So
for files which are already staged for commit and which are modifed in
the working directory we should show two different diffs, depending on
which side the user clicked on.
If the user clicks on the "Changes To Be Committed" side then we should
show them the PARENT<->index difference. This is the set of changes they
will actually commit.
If the user clicks on the "Changed But Not Updated" side we should show
them the index<->working directory difference. This is the set of changes
which will not be committed, as they have not been staged into the index.
This is especially useful when merging, as the "Changed But Not Updated"
files are the ones that need merge conflict resolution, and the diff here
is the conflict hunks and/or any evil merge created by the user.

We now need to keep track of which side the current diff is for,

I'm going to declare a new global, rather than try to shove both

If the user is deleting a branch which is fully merged into the
