This is useful if you are directly working together with other
developers pushing feature branches on a shared remote. You typically
push feature branches to the remote so others can review. Once they are
satisfied and the branch is merged into the main branch it needs to be
deleted on the server.
Since we did not yet have a preselected default branch in the remote
delete dialog lets use the last merged branch if it is found on the
server.

This patch enables the use of themed Tk widgets with Tk 8.5 and above.
These make a significant difference on Windows in making the
application appear native. On Windows and MacOSX ttk defaults to the
native look as much as possible. On X11 the user may select a theme
using the TkTheme XRDB resource class by adding an line to the
.Xresources file. The set of installed theme names is available using
the Tk command 'ttk::themes'. The default on X11 is similar to the current
un-themed style - a kind of thin bordered motif look.
A new git config variable 'gui.usettk' may be set to disable this if
the user prefers the classic Tk look. Using Tk 8.4 will also avoid the
use of themed widgets as these are only available since 8.5.
Some support is included for Tk 8.6 features (themed spinbox and native
font chooser for MacOSX and Windows).

We already do the same when locally deleting a branch.

If the user wants to delete a remote branch and selects the correct
"merged into" we should not warn that "Recovering deleted branches is
difficult". For local branches we do the same already.

Properly spell "successful" and slightly rewrite a couple of strings
that actually say the same thing in order to reduce translation work.
Update .pot and .po files accordingly since no new translation is
required.

Instead, 'Location' is used to label such inputs; in the Clone dialog,
'Source' and 'Target' are also introduced to further clarify the situation.
The intent is to increase GUI consistency in the case location templates
(upcoming) are used - then, other locators than URL may be used.

Currently, it was not really clear what all does this perform. We rename
"Delete..." to "Delete Branch..." (since this does not delete the remote
as a whole) and relabel the window from "Delete Remote Branch" to "Delete
Branch Remotely" (since the action also involves pushing the delete out).

Most of these changes were suggested by Shawn Pearce in an answer

Some strings for the blame module were added too.

The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat.
Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise
xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both
delimiters would work fine.

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want
to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do
symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we
found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some
cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32.
While I was working on this change I also converted all of our
existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper
functions. These functions take additional options like --nice
and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like
running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available)
or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

The status field of the remote branch delete dialog was marked to
expand, which meant that if the user grew the window vertically
most of the new vertical height was given to the status field and
not to the branch list. Since the status field is just a single
line of text there is no reason for it to gain additional height,
instead we should make sure all additional height goes to the
branch list.

Git has supported remote branch deletion for quite some time, but
I've just never gotten around to supporting it in git-gui. Some
workflows have users push short-term branches to some remote Git
repository, then delete them a few days/weeks later when that topic
has been fully merged into the main trunk. Typically in that style
of workflow the user will want to remove the branches they created.
We now offer a "Delete..." option in the Push menu, right below the
generic "Push..." option. When the user opens our generic delete
dialog they can select a preconfigured remote, or enter a random
URL. We run `git ls-remote $url` to obtain the list of branches and
tags known there, and offer this list in a listbox for the user to
select one or more from.
Like our local branch delete dialog we offer the user a way to filter
their selected branch list down to only those branches that have been
merged into another branch. This is a very common operation as the
user will likely want to select a range of topic branches, but only
delete them if they have been merged into some sort of common trunk.
Unfortunately our remote merge base detection is not nearly as strict
as the local branch version. We only offer remote heads as the test
commit (not any local ones) and we require that all necessary commits
to successfully run git-merge-base are available locally. If one or
more is missing we suggest that the user run a fetch first.
Since the Git remote protocol doesn't let us specify what the tested
commit was when we evaluated our decision to execute the remote delete
there is a race condition here. The user could do a merge test against
the trunk, determine a topic branch was fully merged, but before they
can start pushing the delete request another user could fast-forward
the remote topic branch to a new commit that is not merged into the
trunk. The delete will arrive after, and remove the topic, even though
it was not fully merged.
