Sometimes its useful to start gitk with the --all option, to view all of
the known branches and tags within this repository. Rather than making
the user startup gitk and then edit the view we can pass the option along
for them.
This also makes it slightly more explicit, that when gitk starts up by
default its showing the current branch and not everything. Yes gitk
isn't showing that to the user, but the fact that the user had to make
a decision between seeing this current branch or all branches will
hopefully make them study gitk's display before jumping to a conclusion.

Because the Tcl binary distributed with Cygwin tends to not pass along
its own environment (the env array) to its children, its unlikely that
any Git commands spawned by git-gui will receive the same environment
variables that git-gui itself received from the shell which started it.
If the user is counting on environment variables to pass down, like say
GIT_INDEX_FILE, they may not, so we warn them during git-gui startup
that things may not work out as the user intended. Perhaps one day
when git-gui and git are running on native Windows (rather than through
the Cygwin emulation layers) things will work better.

It is tradition for applications to store their about and preferences
menu options within the application menu. This is the first menu in
the menu bar, just after the apple menu. Apparently the way to access
this menu from Tk on Mac OS X systems is to create a special menu whose

I recently found a need to run fsck-objects in a number of repositories
that I also use git-gui against. Tossing in a menu option to invoke
fsck-objects and have its output show up in a console window is simple
enough to do.
We probably need to enhance the console window used by fsck-objects,
like to open up the Git fsck-objects manual page and let the user see
what each message means (such as "dangling commit") and to also let the
user invoke prune, to cleanup any such dangling objects. But right now
I'm going to ignore that problem in favor of getting other more important

Its useful to be able to amend the last commit even if it was a merge
commit, so we really should support that in the gui. We now do so by
making PARENT a list. We always diff against the first parent but we
create a commit consisting of the parent(s) listed in this list, in
order.
We also should recheck the repository state during an amend. Earlier
I was bitten by this exact bug when I switched branches through a
command prompt and then did not do a rescan in git-gui. When I hit
"Amend Last Commit" I was surprised to see information from the prior
branch appear. This was due to git-gui caching the data from the last
rescan and using that data form the amend data load request, rather than
the data of the current branch.
Improved error text in the dialogs used to tell the user why an amend is
being refused by git-gui. In general this is only during an initial
commit (nothing prior to amend) and during a merge commit (it is simply
too confusing to amend the last commit while also trying to complete a
merge).
Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the pull logic. Since this code isn't
really useful nobody has recently tested it and noticed the breakage.
It really needs to be rewritten anyway.

In order to allow the user to toggle include/exclude from next commit

The tags used for diff formatting (which I inherited from gitool) just
didn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if you wanted to try to
match them to the diff output you were seeing on screen. It did not
help that the diff-index -c output's first two columns are also munged
to make the diff output more user friendly.
So this is a large refactoring of the tags used for diff display. Now
our tag names match what we put in the left column of each line, which
makes it easier to correlate presentation and implementation.
I removed bold font usage from everything except the hunk headers as I
really did not like the way bold font caused column alignments to become
out of whack within the diff viewer. It also drew attention to the parts
of the file which were identically changed in both the index and in the
working directory, yet these are usually the parts I find myself caring
the least about. So its very counter-intuitive.
Lines which are changed differently by both the index and the working
directory are now shown with background colors which span the entire line,
making these lines easier to pick out of the diff. In general these are
the lines that appear to be more interesting to me when looking at the
3-way diff as they are the ones which contain recent and quite different
changes.

New files also lack index data from diff-files therefore we cannot use
their diff-files index data when we update-index. Instead we can use

Its not an error that a rescan is required before commit; its just

Its also not "highly likely" that another Git program modified the

Because we immediately start a rescan operation, but do so slightly

When the user selects a number of files they would typically expect

selection but there is a file in the diff viewer than we consider that

Apparently I never really tested the logic for making or amending an

didn't quite work as it was intended to.
So this is all just bug fixes to make initial commits correctly
generate the list of files going into the initial commit, or to
show a newly added file's diff, and to amend an initial commit.
Because we really want to diff the index against a tree-ish and
there is no such tree-ish on an initial commit we create an empty
tree through git-mktree and diff against that. This unfortunately
creates a dangling tree, which may confuse a new user who uses

Because I want to let users apply actions to more than one file at
a time we really needed a concept of "the current selection" from
the two file lists.
Since I'm abusing a Tk text widget for the file displays I can't
really use the Tk selection to track which files are picked and
which aren't. So instead we keep this in an array to tell us
which paths are currently selected and we use an inverse fg/bg
for the selected file display. This is common most operating
systems as a selection indicator.
The selection works like most users would expect; single click will
clear the selection and pick only that file, M1-click (aka Ctrl-click

Shift-click will select the range between the last clicked file and

The concept of the Git index is confusing for many users, especially
those who are newer to Git.
Since git-gui is (at least partially) intended to be used by newer
users who don't need the complexity of the index to be put in front
of them early on, we should hide it by making any partially included
file fully included as soon as we identify it. To do this we just
run a quick update_index pass on any file which differs both in the
index and the working directory, as these files have already been
at least partially included by the user.

there does appear to be a bug in the config saving code where we did
not set the local repo config differently from the global config.

Since git-repo-config will supply us a union of both the global and
the local repository configuration data when we invoke it during startup
there is no reason to go get the global configuration with an extra call
to repo-config unless the user is trying to view & edit all options in
the options dialog.
Since skipping this extra repo-config invocation save us a little bit of
time its nice to be able to avoid it when we are invoked as git-citool
and won't be running very long.

If the user is invoking us as git-citool then they want to perform a
single commit and exit quickly. Since we are about to be a very short
lived process we should do what we can to avoid spending CPU time setting
up menus which the user will never use, like the fetch/push/pull menus.

Apparently Tcl is being helpful on Windows during exec and is throwing a
\ in front of every { it finds in the string. I'm guessing they think
the value might be read by another Tcl program? Anyway, Git faithfully
stores the \{ sequence and sends it back that way to Tcl, at which point
Tcl parses the list wrong and starts to break it in the middle of any
element which contains spaces. Therefore a list such as:
-family {Times New Roman}
gets broken up into the pairs:
{-family \{Times}
{New Roman}
which is very incorrect. So now we replace all { and } with "", at which
point Tcl doesn't throw \ in front of the " on the way out to Git yet it
reads it correctly as a list on the way back in.
I also found and fixed a bug in the way we restored the fonts when the
user presses Restore Defaults in the options dialog.

Since the font name can only be chosen from within the options dialog
giving the user fast access to this dialog from within a context menu
that already talks about increasing and decreasing the font size may
help users to locate the font name setting as well.

Display the name of "this" repository rather than the quite ambiguous
string "This". The idea is that seeing the name of the directory the
repository is stored in should help jog the user's memory about what
they are setting options for.
Also place the options dialog immediately over the git-gui main window
when it gets opened. This way the user isn't scrolling very far away
to gain access to the window. At least on my Mac OS X system not doing
this makes the options dialog open rather far away, thus requiring lots
of mouse activity to reach it.

The git-update-index process can take a while to process a large
number of files; for example my laptop would probably need almost
an hour to chug through 20,000 modified files. In these incredibly
large cases the user should be given at least some feedback to let
them know the application is still working on their behalf, even if
it won't them do anything else (as the index is locked).

This turned out to take a lot more time than I thought it would take;
but now users can edit the main UI font and the diff/fixed with font
by changing both the family name and/or the point size of the text.
We save the complete Tk font specification to the user's ~/.gitconfig
file upon saving options. This is probably more verbose than it needs
to be as there are many useless options recorded (e.g. -overstrike 0)
that a user won't really want to use in this application.

I decided that the options menu was going to turn into a mess after
a while as I start to add additional features to git-gui. The better
approach would be to create a dialog that lets the user edit the options,
including their --global options.
We also wisely let the user press Cancel (or destroy the window) to abort
any sort of option editing session, without the options being changed.

Apparently <Button-3> doesn't work on my single button PowerBook
mouse under Mac OS X. I'm guessing this is because Tk is stealing
every event and doesn't realize that Control-Button-1 is actually
supposed to invoke the context menu on this platform.
So now we have a utility procedure is_MacOSX to guess if we are
running on a Mac OS X system, and if so setup Control-Button-1 to
also activate what Button-3 should have. This does mean that I need
to stay away from using Control-Button-1 as a binding in any other
context. Of course we should use $M1B for that, which is M1 (aka
Command) on Mac OS X so that shouldn't prove to be a problem.

The native Tk font system is actually quite powerful and has the nice
property that modifications to a named font are immediately reflected
throughout all widgets currently displayed. This really saves us
from needing to write all of the reconfigure code as part of our font
display.
I also fixed the way we detect and apply the system font on the main
UI widgets as although it worked on a Windows 2000 system it does not
work at all on my Mac OS 10.4 system.

When the user has enabled the Trust File Modification Timestamp option
then we may display a file as being modified yet that file may not have
a difference. When the user clicks on that file we wind up displaying
an empty diff viewer, which makes no sense to the user.
So instead if we get an empty diff and the user has this option enabled
and the file's current state is _M (no change in index but the working
file appears modified) then run a quick update-index on just that file
and remove it from the list of modified files. We also give the user
a quick dialog stating we are removing it, and why.
Usually I don't run into this situation when I have the Trust File
Modification Timestamp option enabled, so its not that annoying to
have a dialog pop open to remind me why there are no differences.

Because the diff area is one of the most important areas to be able to
read users should be able to increase or decrease the size of the font
used within that area.
Currently we save that back to the global configuration, even if it
may have originated from the local repository configuration. This
is probably going to be considered to be a bug by at least one user
who wants some sort of different font within a given repository, but
I'm just going to ignore the problem for now.

Rather than hardcoding our fonts to something that I thought was
reasonable, guess font_ui off the font used by the system in the
menu bar. This way the application conforms by default to whatever
the user's desktop is setup to.
We also now let the user supply font configuration through their
repository configuration as gui.fontui (the overall UI font) and
gui.fontdiff (the font used for the diff viewer).

When we sign off on a commit we want to add a blank line between

The mouse cursor (at least on Windows) seemed to be picking up the
cursor from the sash controls and then never resetting itself back
to the standard text cursor (the I-beam) when it was over a text area
that the user can edit (like the commit buffer) or over a text area
the user can copy from (like the diff viewer).
So now we always set the cursor to left_ptr (which according to the Tk
documentation should be available everywhere) and only for the two text
areas which we use to list file names, as the user clicks in these but
is not permitted to select text.

The gui.geometry config value was starting to contain
the odd string \\{ as part of its value due to the
way the Tcl lists were being supplied to git repo-config.
Now we write out only three values: the overall window
geomtry, the y position of the horizontal sash, and
the x position of the vertical sash. All other data is
skipped, which makes the gui.geometry value simpler.
While debugging this I noticed that the save_my_config
procedure was being invoked multiple times during exit
due to do_quit getting invoked over and over again. So
now we set a flag in do_quit and don't perform any of our
"at exit" type of logic if we've already been through the
do_quit procedure once.

Added an extra blank line between the first line of each error message

Rather than drawing our own toplevel for error messages we really
should just use the the native tk_messageBox command to display
any error messages.
Major benefits for doing so are:
- automatically centers over main window;
- less code required on our part in git-gui;
- includes a nifty error icon on most systems;
- better fits the look-and-feel of the operating system.

When we reshow the current diff file it can be faster to just fetch

When we commit we know that whatever was in the index went as part
of the commit. Since we generally assume that the user does not
update the index except through our user interface we can be reasonably
certain that any file which was marked as A/M/D in the index will have
had that A/M/D state changed to an _ (not different) by the commit.
We can use this knowledge to update the user interface post commit
by simply updating the index part of the file state of all files whose
index state was A/M/D to _ and then removing any file memory any which
wound up with a final state of __ (not different anywhere). Finally we
redraw the file lists and update the diff view.

If we are given a file whose path name contains an LF (\n) we now
escape it by inserting the common escape string \n instead of the
LF character whenever we display the name in the UI. This way the
text fields don't start to span multiple lines just to display one
file, and it keeps the line numbers correct within the file lists.

When we did a rescan to update the file lists we lost the tag which
indicated which file was currently in the diff viewer. This occurs
because we delete every line from the two file list boxes (thus
removing the tag) and then redisplay the diff in the diff viewer
but then fail to restore the tag in the file list.
Now we restore that tag by searching for the file in the file lists
and adding the tag back when the diff viewer displays something.
We also no longer obtain the file path directly from the file list
text box. Instead we now keep two Tcl lists, one for each file list,
holding the file names in sorted order. These lists can be searched
with the native [lsearch -sorted] operation (which should be faster
than our crude bsearch) or can be quickly accessed by index to return
the file path. This should help make things safer should we ever be
given a file name which contains an LF within it (as that would span
two lines in the file list, not one).

If we load a message file (e.g. MERGE_MSG) or we have just finished
making a commit and are clearing out the commit buffer we should also
clear out the undo/redo stack associated with that buffer. The prior
undo/redo stack has no associated with the new content and therefore
is not useful to the user.
Also modified the sign-off operation to perform the entire update in
a single undo/redo operation, allowing the user to undo the signoff
in case they didn't actually want to do that.
I also noticed what may be a crash on Windows related to the up and
down arrow keys navigating within the diff viewer. Since I got back
no stack trace (just an application exit with a loss of the commit
message) I suspect that the binding to scroll the text widget crashed
with an error and the wish process just terminated. So now we catch
(and ignore) any sort of error related to the arrow keys in the diff
viewer.
