cff93397ab git-gui: Disable Tk send in all git-gui sessions
The Tk designers blessed us with the "send" command, which on X11
will allow anyone who can connect to your X server to evaluate any
Tcl code they desire within any running Tk process.  This is just
plain nuts.  If git-gui wants someone running Tcl code within it
then would ask someone to supply that Tcl code to it; waiting for
someone to drop any random Tcl code into us is not fantastic idea.

By renaming send to the empty name the procedure will be removed
from the global namespace and Tk will stop responding to random Tcl
evaluation requests sent through the X server.  Since there is no
facility to filter these requests it is unlikely that we will ever
consider enabling this command.

12fb223326 git-gui: Ensure msgfmt failure stops GNU make
If we have a failure executing msgfmt (such as the process just
crashes no matter what arguments you supply it because its own
installation is borked) we should stop the build process rather
than letting it continue along its merry way as if the .msg files
were created.

047d94d505 git-gui: Properly set the state of "Stage/Unstage Hunk" action
Today I found yet another way for the "Stage Hunk" and "Unstage
Hunk" context menu actions to leave the wrong state enabled in
the UI.  The problem this time was that I connected the state
determination to the value of $::current_diff_side (the side the
diff is from).  When the user was last looking at a diff from the
index side and unstages everything the diff panel goes empty, but
the action stayed enabled as we always assumed unstaging was a
valid action.

This change moves the logic for determining when the action is
enabled away from the individual side selection, as they really
are two unrelated concepts.

881d8f24ca git-gui: Fix detaching current branch during checkout
If the user tried to detach their HEAD while keeping the working
directory on the same commit we actually did not completely do
a detach operation internally.  The problem was caused by git-gui
not forcing the HEAD symbolic ref to be updated to a SHA-1 hash
when we were not switching revisions.  Now we update the HEAD ref
if we aren't currently detached or the hashes don't match.

6e4ba05c7f git-gui: Correct starting of git-remote to handle -w option
Current versions of git-remote apparently are passing the -w option
to Perl as part of the shbang line:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w

this caused a problem in git-gui and gave the user a Tcl error with
the message: "git-remote not supported: #!/usr/bin/perl -w".

The fix for this is to treat the shbang line as a Tcl list and look
at the first element only for guessing the executable name.  Once
we know the executable name we use the remaining elements (if any
exist) as arguments to the executable, before the script filename.

87b63de49c git-gui: Quiet the msgfmt part of the make process
I really prefer having a very short and sweet makefile output that
does not flood the user's screen with a ton of commands that they
don't care much about.  Traditionally git-gui has hidden away the
actual commands from output by the $(QUIET*) series of macros but
allow them to be seen with either `make QUIET=` or `make V=1`.

This change makes our i18n message generation process to be a lot
shorter and easier to digest at a glance:

This particular message is talking about a specific option in the

d4b0ccd931 git-gui: Initialize Tcl's msgcat library for internationalization
Tcl's msgcat library and corresponding mc procedure can locate a
translated string for any user message, provided that it is first
given a directory where the *.msg files are located containing the
translations.

During installation we will place the translations in lib/msgs/,
so we need to inform msgcat of this location once we determine it
during startup.  Our source code tree however will store all of
the translations within the po/ directory, so we need to special
case this variant.

fc703c209d git-gui: Locate the library directory early during startup
To support a localized version of git-gui we need to locate the
library directory early so we can initialize Tcl's msgcat package
to load translated messages from.  This needs to occur before we
declare our git-version proc so that errors related to locating
git or assessing its version can be reported to the end-user in
their preferred language.  However we have to keep the library
loading until after git-version has been declared, otherwise we
will fail to start git-gui if we are using a fake tclIndex that
was generated by our Makefile.

c80d25dbce git-gui: Correct 'git gui blame' in a subdirectory
David Kastrup pointed out that the following sequence was not
working as we had intended:

  $ cd lib
  $ git gui blame console.tcl
  fatal: cannot stat path lib/console.tcl: No such file or directory

The problem here was we disabled the chdir to the root of the
working tree when we are running with a "bare allowed" feature
such as blame or browser, but we still kept the prefix we found via
`git rev-parse --show-prefix`.  This caused us to try and look for
the file "console.tcl" within the subdirectory but also include
the subdirectory's own path from the root of the working tree.
This is unlikely to succeed, unless the user just happened to have
a "lib/lib/console.tcl" file in the repository, in which case we
would produce the wrong result.

In the case of a bare repository we shouldn't get back a value from
`rev-parse --show-prefix`, so really $_prefix should only be set
to the non-empty string if we are in a working tree and we are in a
subdirectory of that working tree.  If this is true we really want
to always be at the top level of the working tree, as all paths are
accessed as though they were relative to the top of the working tree.
Converting $_prefix to a ../ sequence is a fairly simple approach
to moving up the requisite levels.

9c9f5fa97f git-gui: Do not offer to stage three-way diff hunks into the index
git-apply does not accept a patch that was generated as a three-way
combined diff format such as we see during merge conflicts.  If we
get such a diff in our diff viewer and try to send it to git-apply
it just errors out and the user is left confused wondering why they
cannot stage that hunk.

Instead of feeding a known to be unacceptable hunk to git-apply we
now just disable the stage/unstage context menu option if the hunk
came from a three way diff.  The user may still be confused about
why they cannot work with a combined diff, but at least they are
only confused as to why git-gui is not offering them the action.

875b7c9368 git-gui: Fix "unoptimized loading" to not cause git-gui to crash
If the tclsh command was not available to us at the time we were
"built" our lib/tclIndex just lists all of our library files and
we source all of them at once during startup, rather than trying
to lazily load only the procedures we need.  This is a problem as
some of our library code now depends upon the git-version proc,
and that proc is not defined until after the library was fully
loaded.

I'm moving the library loading until after we have determined the
version of git we are talking to, as this ensures that the required
git-reversion procedure is defined before any library code can be
loaded.  Since error_popup is defined in the library we instead use
tk_messageBox directly for errors found during the version detection.

ce015c213f git-gui: Paper bag fix "Stage Hunk For Commit" in diff context menu
In a13ee29b97 I totally broke the
"Stage Hunk For Commit" feature by making this menu item always
appear in a disabled state, so it was never invokable.  A "teaser
feature", just sitting there taunting the poor user who has become
used to having it available.

The issue caused by a13ee was I added a test to look at the data
in $file_states, but I didn't do that test correctly as it was
always looking at a procedure local $file_states array, which is
not defined, so the test was always true and we always disabled
the menu entry.

Instead we only want to disable the menu entry if the current file
we are looking at has no file state information (git-gui is just a
very confused little process) or it is an untracked file (and we
cannot stage individual hunks).

18a01a0da4 git-gui: Allow git-merge to use branch names in conflict markers
Earlier when I rewrote the merge implementation for git-gui I broke
it such that the conflict markers for the "theirs" side of the hunk
was using a full SHA-1 ID in hex, rather than the name of the branch
the user had merged.  This was because I got paranoid and passed off
the full SHA-1 to git-merge, instead of giving it the reference name
the user saw in the merge dialog.

I'd still like to resolve the SHA-1 upfront in git-gui and always use
that value throughout the merge, but I can't do that until we have a
full implementation of git-merge written in Tcl.  Until then its more
important that the conflict markers be useful to the end-user, so we
need to pass off the ref name and not the SHA-1 ID.

95af4d8de1 git-gui: Make sure remotes are loaded when picking revisions
If we are started for only a blame/browser/citool run we don't
usually initialize the list of remotes, or determine which refs
are tracking branches and which are local branch heads.  This is
because some of that work is relatively expensive and is usually
not going to be needed if we are started only for a blame, or to
make a single commit.

However by not loading the remote configuration we were crashing
if the user tried to open a browser for another branch through
the Repository menu, as our load_all_heads procedure was unable
to decide which refs/heads/ items were actually local heads.  We
now force all remote configuration data to be loaded if we have
not done so already and we are trying to create a revision mega
widget.

1e0a92fdf7 git-gui: Don't kill modified commit message buffer with merge templates
If the user is in the middle of a merge and has already started to
modify their commit message we were losing the user's changes when
they pressed 'Rescan' after resolving issues or making changes in
the working directory.

The problem here was our background timer that saves the commit
message buffer.  It marks the commit message buffer as not being
modified when it writes it out to disk, so during the rescan we
assumed the buffer should be replaced with what we read from the
MERGE_MSG file.  So we now only read these files from .git if we
have a valid backup file.  Since we clear it on commit this will
only have an impact while the user is actively editing the current
commit.

bc318ea86d git-gui: Remove usernames from absolute SSH urls during merging
If we are being asked to merge a tracking branch that comes from a
remote repository accessed by the very common SSH URL format of
"user@host:/path/to/repo" then we really don't need the username
as part of the merge message, it only clutters up the history and
makes things more confusing.  So we instead clip the username part
off if the local filesystem path is absolute, as its probably not
going to be an ambiguous URL even when it is missing the username.

On the other hand we cannot clip the username off if the URL is
not absolute, because in such cases (e.g. "user@host:myrepo") the
directory that the repository path is resolved in is relative to
the user's home directory, and the username becomes important.

ead49f5a4f git-gui: Format tracking branch merges as though they were pulls
If we are merging a tracking branch we know exactly what remote URL
that branch is fetched from, and what its name is on that remote
repository.  In this case we can setup a merge message that looks
just like a standard `git-pull $remote $branch` operation by filling
out FETCH_HEAD before we start git-merge, and then run git-merge just
like git-pull does.

I think the result of this behavior is that merges look a lot nicer
when the came off of local tracking branches, because they no longer
say "commit 'origin/...'" to describe the commit being merged but
instead now mention the specific repository we fetched those commits
from.

350a35f0a1 git-gui: Replace merge dialog with our revision picker widget
Now that we only support merging one branch we can offer the user
a better user interface experience by allowing them to select the
revision they want to merge through our revision picking widget.

This change neatly solves the problem of locating a branch out of
a sea of 200 tracking branches, and of dealing with very long branch
names that all have a common prefix.

becafaace6 git-gui: Show ref last update times in revision chooser tooltips
If we can we now show the last modification date of a loose ref as
part of the tooltip information shown in the revision picker.  This
gives the user an indication of when was the last time that the ref
was modified locally, and may especially be of interest when looking
at a tracking branch.

If we cannot find the loose ref file than we try to fallback on the
reflog and scan it for the date of the last record.  We don't start
with the reflog however as scanning it backwards from the end is not
an easy thing to do in Tcl.  So I'm being lazy here and just going
through the entire file, line by line.  Since that is less efficient
than a single stat system call, its our fallback strategy.
