Using the new --null option added to git-config in git 1.5.3 we
can safely accept LFs that are embedded in configuration options.
This does require a completely different configuration file parser
then the pre 1.5.3 version as we are splitting on very different
values.

The parsing for the output of `git config --list` is the same for
both the global options and the current repository's options so we
can really just use the same parser between them.
I'm currently just refactoring the parser so we can use a different
one depending on the version of git available to us at runtime. My
next change will add support for 1.5.3's --null option.

To better handle configuration options that contain LFs in their
values we want to use the new -z option available in git-config
version 1.5.3 and later. To configure load_config based upon the
git version we need to move thos below the git-version computation.
No logic changes yet, just a minor reordering of the code.

The layout is changed to have the file lists at the left (Unstaged
Changes at the top, Staged Changes below it) and the diff window
at the right (with the commit area below it).

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

The advantages are:
- The height of the file lists can be adjusted independently to
fit the files that they contain.
- The diff viewer is higher.
On wide screens it is ok that the main window is now generally

The wrapper adds the directory it is installed in to PATH.
This is required for the git commands implemented in shell.
git-gui fails to launch them if PATH is not modified.
The wrapper script also accepts an optional command line
switch '--working-dir <dir>' and changes to <dir> before
launching the actual git-gui. This is required to implement

This commit modifies PATH to include a good guess where git
could be found. The first location to search for executable is
the directory git-gui is installed in. This is a good guess for
a sane installation.
Even if git is not available in PATH, git-gui is now able
to find it. Hence git-gui can be passed to wish as an absolute
path without caring about the environment.
We must modify PATH to be able to spawn shell based git commands.
For builtins it would be sufficient to located them and execute
them with their absolute path. But for shell based git commmands
PATH needs to be modified.

Sometimes the Fetch menu looks really odd, such as if you are in a
repository that has no remotes configured when you start git-gui.
Here we didn't have any items to add to the Fetch menu so it was a
tad confusing for the end-user to see an empty menu on the menu bar.
We now place all of the commands related to fetching and pushing of
changes into a single "Remote" menu. This way we have a better class
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.

If we are updating the index to stage or unstage changes or reverting
files in the working directory we can use the progress handling parts
of our status bar to perform this display work, reducing the amount of
code duplication we have in the index handling module.
Unfortunately the status bar is still a strict approximation as it is
unable to know when git-update-index has processed the data we fed to
it. The progress bar is actually a progress of the pipe buffer filling
up in the OS, not of the actual work done. Still, it tells the user we
are working and that has some value.

If we are building on Darwin (sometimes known as Mac OS X) and we
find the Mac OS X Tk.framework in the expected location we build
a proper Mac OS X application bundle with icons and info list. The
git-gui and git-citool commands are modified to be very short shell
scripts that just execute the application bundle, starting Tk with
our own info list and icon set.
Although the Makefile change here is rather large it makes for a
much more pleasant user experience on Mac OS X as git-gui now has
its own icon on the dock, in the standard tk_messageBox dialogs,
and the application name now says "Git Gui" instead of "Wish" in

completed progress number jumps to the next order of magnitude.

Henrik came up with this alternative logo for gitweb and posted
it on his blog:
http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/06/alternative-git-logo-and-favicon
The msysGit port uses his logo within some of their components,
and frankly it looks better here in git-gui for our repository
setup wizard screen. The logo fits quite nicely along the left
edge of our window, leaving significantly more vertical space
for things like the git-fetch console output.
Because the logo changes the layout charateristics of the setup
window I also needed to adjust some of the padding for our widgets
and stop using a fixed width window size. We now let Tk compute
the correct size of the main window whenever the layout changes,
and drop the window into roughly the upper left 1/3 of the desktop
so its not quite centered but is likely to be far enough away from
any sort of task bars/menu bars/docks that the user may have along
any edge of the screen.

If we have added a scrollbar to the console window because one
direction has too much text to fit in the available screen space

Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
If the console finishes displaying its output and is "done" but
needs to draw a scrollbar to show the final output messages it
is possible for Tk to delete the window namespace before it does
the text widget updates, which means we are unable to add the
horizontal or vertical scrollbar to the window when the text
widget decides it cannot draw all glyphs on screen.
We need to delay deleting the window namespace until we know
the window is not going to ever be used again. This occurs if
we are done receiving output, the command is successful and the
window is closed, or if the window is open and the user chooses
to close the window after the command has completed.

If the source repository is using an objects/info/alternates file
we need to copy the file to our new repository so that it can access
any objects that won't be copied/hardlinked as they are stored in the
alternate location.
We explicitly resolve all paths in the objects/info/alternates as
relative to the source repository but then convert them into an
absolute path for the new clone. This allows the new clone to
access the exact same locaton as the source repository, even if
relative paths had been used before.
Under Cygwin we assume that Git is Cygwin based and that the paths
in objects/info/alternates must be valid Cygwin UNIX paths, so we
need to run `cygpath --unix` on each line in the alternate list.

If we are doing a "standard" clone by way of hardlinking the

need to wait for both the NT overheads and the network.

the window can still be dragged around the desktop.

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.

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.

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.
