4259568d72 git-gui: Avoid using the term URL when specifying repositories
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.

3c1c2a00b2 git-gui: Clarify the Remote -> Delete... action
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).

c8c4854bec git-gui: add some strings to translation
Most of these changes were suggested by Shawn Pearce in an answer
to Johannes Schindelin.

Some strings for the blame module were added too.

[sp: Minor edits in blame module formatting]

1ac17950e9 Mark strings for translation.
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.

[jes: I merged the later patches to that end.]

0b81261622 git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executables
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.

1eb96a25c9 git-gui: Correct resizing of remote branch delete dialog
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.

aa252f194b git-gui: Allow users to delete remote branches
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.
