79056034be gitk: Regenerate .po files
This is the result of running make update-po and removing or fixing
the strings that were fuzzily matched.  The ones that were fixed were
the ones where the only change was "git rev-list" to "git log", and
the "about gitk" message where the copyright year got updated.

To get xgettext to see the menu labels as needing translation, it
was necessary for arrange for them to be preceded by "mc".  This
therefore changes makemenu to ignore the first element in each
menu item so that it can be "mc" in the makemenu call.

98fa473887 refactor handling of "other" files in ls-files and status
When the "git status" display code was originally converted
to C, we copied the code from ls-files to discover whether a
pathname returned by read_directory was an "other", or
untracked, file.

Much later, 5698454e updated the code in ls-files to handle
some new cases caused by gitlinks.  This left the code in
wt-status.c broken: it would display submodule directories
as untracked directories. Nobody noticed until now, however,
because unless status.showUntrackedFiles was set to "all",
submodule directories were not actually reported by
read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the
presence of a submodule _and_ this config option.

This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function,
cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should
leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug
in status.

7e425c4fbb describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often
If the caller supplies --tags they want the lightweight, unannotated
tags to be searched for a match.  If a lightweight tag is closer
in the history, it should be matched, even if an annotated tag is
reachable further back in the commit chain.

The same applies with --all when matching any other type of ref.

b0ad11ea16 pull: allow "git pull origin $something:$current_branch" into an unborn branch
Some misguided documents floating on the Net suggest this sequence:

    mkdir newdir && cd newdir
    git init
    git remote add origin $url
    git pull origin master:master

"git pull" has known about misguided "pull" that lets the underlying fetch
update the current branch for a long time.  It also has known about
"git pull origin master" into a branch yet to be born.

These two workarounds however were not aware of the existence of each
other and did not work well together.  This fixes it.

f2d0bbbd68 gitk: New way of constructing menus that allows for Alt+letter accelerators
This is inspired by patches from Robin Rosenberg but takes a different
approach.  This adds a "makemenu" procedure for constructing menus
that allows the menu layout to be specified in a clear fashion, and
provides one place where the alt+letter accelerators can be detected
and handled.

The alt+letter accelerator is specified by putting an ampersand (&)
before the letter for the accelerator in the menu item name.  (Two
ampersands in succession produce one ampersand in the menu item as
it appears on screen.)  This is handled in makemenu.

We also add an mca procedure which is like mc but also does the
ampersand translation, for use when we want to refer to a menu item
by name.  The mca name and the locations where we use it were
shamelessly stolen from Robin Rosenberg's patch.

This doesn't actually add any alt+letter accelerators yet.

d80d6bc146 rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching UPSTREAM
This covers an odd boundary case found by Avi Kivity's script where a branch
coming off of UPSTREAM is merged into HEAD. Initially it show up in
UPSTREAM..HEAD, but technically UPSTREAM is not moving, the rest of head is, so
we should not need to rewrite the merge.

This adds a check saying we can keep `preserve=t` if `p=UPSTREAM`...unless this
is the first first-parent commit in our UPSTREAM..HEAD rev-list, which could
very well point to UPSTREAM, but we still need to consider it as rewritten so we
start pulling in the rest of the UPSTREAM..HEAD commits that point to it.

faae853ca6 rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
`rebase -i -p` got its rev-list of commits to keep by --left-right and
--cherry-pick. Adding --cherry-pick would drop commits that duplicated changes
already in the rebase target.

The dropped commits were then forgotten about when it came to rewriting the
parents of their descendents, so the descendents would get cherry-picked with
their old, unwritten parents and essentially make the rebase a no-op.

This commit adds a $DOTEST/dropped directory to remember dropped commits and
rewrite their children's parent as the dropped commit's possibly-rewritten
first-parent.

563d5a2c84 xdiff-interface.c: strip newline (and cr) from line before pattern matching
POSIX doth sayeth:

   "In the regular expression processing described in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
    the <newline> is regarded as an ordinary character and both a period and
    a non-matching list can match one. ... Those utilities (like grep) that
    do not allow <newline>s to match are responsible for eliminating any
    <newline> from strings before matching against the RE."

Thus far git has not been removing the trailing newline from strings matched
against regular expression patterns. This has the effect that (quoting
Jonathan del Strother) "... a line containing just 'FUNCNAME' (terminated by
a newline) will be matched by the pattern '^(FUNCNAME.$)' but not
'^(FUNCNAME$)'", and more simply not '^FUNCNAME$'.

This test used the non-zero exit status of 'git diff' to indicate that a
negated funcname pattern, when placed last, was correctly rejected.

The problem with this is that 'git diff' always returns non-zero if it

contain differences in order to trigger the funcname pattern codepath.

Instead of checking for non-zero exit status, make sure the expected

39ee47ef06 gitk: Clean up file encoding code and add enable/disable option
This adds an option allowing the user to select whether gitk should
look up per-file encoding settings using git check-attr or not.  If
not, gitk uses the global encoding set in the git config (as reported
by git config --get gui.encoding) for all files, or if that is not
set, then the system encoding.

The option is controlled by a checkbox in the Edit->Preferences
window, and defaults to off for now because git check-attr is so
slow.  When the user turns it on we discard any cached diff file
lists in treediffs, because we may not have encodings cached for
the files listed in those lists, meaning that getblobdiffline will
do it for each file, which will be really really slow.

This adjusts the limit of how many paths cache_gitattr passes to each
instance of git check-attr depending on whether we're running under
windows or not.  Passing only 30 doesn't effectively amortize the
startup costs of git check-attr, but it's all we can do under windows
because of the 32k limit on arguments to a command.  Under other OSes
we pass up to 1000.

Similarly we adjust how many lines gettreediffline processes depending
on whether we are doing per-file encodings so that we don't run for
too long.  When we are, 500 seems to be a reasonable limit, leading
to gettreediffline taking about 60-70ms under Linux (almost all of
which is in cache_gitattr, unfortunately).  This means that we can
take out the update call in cache_gitattr.

This adds a simple cache on [tclencoding].  Now that we get repeated
calls to translate the same encoding, this is useful.

This reindents the new code added in the last couple of commits to
conform to the gitk 4-space indent and makes various other improvements:
use regexp in gitattr and cache_gitattr instead of split + join + regsub,
make gui_encoding be the value from [tclencoding] to avoid having to
do [tcl_encoding $gui_encoding] in each call to get_path_encoding,
and print a warning message at startup if $gui_encoding isn't
supported by Tcl.

eee0184da8 Fix reading of cloud tags

This can be observed by creating an empty t/trash directory and running

and <$glob> would give "trash", which can be opened and reading from it
immediately yields undef, which in turn gives an undef value warning to

4db09304f9 gitk: Implement batch lookup and caching of encoding attrs
When the diff contains thousands of files, calling git-check-attr once
per file is very slow.  With this patch gitk does attribute lookup in
batches of 30 files while reading the diff file list, which leads to a
very noticeable speedup.

It may be possible to reimplement this even more efficiently, if
git-check-attr is modified to support a --stdin-paths option.
Additionally, it should quote the ':' character in file paths, or
provide a more robust way of column separation.

09c7029dfa gitk: Enhance file encoding support
This allows the encoding to be specified for file contents and used
when displaying files and diffs in the bottom-left pane.  When
displaying diffs, the encoding for each diff hunk is that for the file
that the diff hunk is from, so it can change through the course of the
diff.

The encoding for file contents is determined as follows:

- File encoding defaults to the system encoding.
- It can be overridden by setting the gui.encoding option.
- Finally, the 'encoding' attribute is checked on
  per-file basis; it has the last word.

Note: Since git-check-attr does not provide support for reading
attributes from trees, attribute lookup is done using files from the
working directory.

This also extends the range of supported encoding names, adding
ShiftJIS and Shift-JIS as aliases for Shift_JIS, and allowing
cp-*, cp_*, ibm-*, ibm_*, jis-* and jis_* as aliases for cp*,
ibm* and jis* respectively.

This also fixes some bugs in handling of non-ASCII filenames.  Core
git apparently supports only locale-encoded filenames, so processing
is done using the system encoding.

8ee5d73137 Fix fetch/pull when run without --update-head-ok
Some confusing tutorials suggested that it would be a good idea to fetch
into the current branch with something like this:

	git fetch origin master:master

(or even worse: the same command line with "pull" instead of "fetch").
While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is
plain wrong when the current branch is "master".  This should only be
allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work
around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise
we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior.

The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare
repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour.

Some newer tests were depending on the broken behaviour of "git fetch"
this patch fixes, and have been adjusted.

41038c5e15 check-attr: add an internal check_attr() function
This step is preparation to introducing --stdin-paths option.

I have also added maybe_flush_or_die() at the end of main() to ensure that
we exit with the zero code only when we flushed the output successfully.

b75271d93a "git diff <tree>{3,}": do not reverse order of arguments
According to the message of commit 0fe7c1de16,
"git diff" with three or more trees expects the merged tree first followed by
the parents, in order.  However, this command reversed the order of its
arguments, resulting in confusing diffs.  A comment /* Again, the revs are all
reverse */ suggested there was a reason for this, but I can't figure out the
reason, so I removed the reversal of the arguments.  Test case included.

f285a2d7ed Replace calls to strbuf_init(&foo, 0) with STRBUF_INIT initializer
Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

7e7abea96b print an error message for invalid path
If verification of path failed, it is always better to print an
error message saying this than relying on the caller function to
print a meaningful error message (especially when the callee already
prints error message for another situation).

Because the callers of add_index_entry_with_check() did not print
any error message, it resulted that the user would not notice the
problem when checkout of an invalid path failed.

The "rebase and edit" howto predates the much easier solution 'git
rebase -i' by two years.
