c02efc1363 git-gui: improve dark mode support
The colors of some ttext widgets are hard-coded. These hard-coded colors
are okay with a light theme but with a dark theme some widgets are dark
colored and the hard-coded ones are still light. This defeats the
purpose of applying the theme and makes the UI look very awkward.

Remove the hard-coded colors in ttext calls and use colors from the
theme for those widgets via Text.Background and Text.Foreground from the
option database.

Similarly, the highlighting for the currently selected file(s) in the
"Staged Files" and "Unstaged Files" sections is also hard-coded. Pull
the colors for that from the current theme to make sure it is in line

2cd6e1d552 t5534: split stdout and stderr redirection
On atomic pushing failure with GnuPG, we expect a very specific output
in stdout due to `--porcelain` switch.

On such failure, we also write down some helpful hint into stderr
in order to help user understand what happens and how to continue from
those failures.

On a lot of system, those hint (in stderr) will be flushed first,
then those messages in stdout will be flushed. In such systems, the
current test code is fine as is.

However, we don't have such guarantee, (at least) there're some real
systems that writes those stream interleaved. On such systems, we may
see the stderr stream written in the middle of stdout stream.

Let's split those stream redirection. By splitting those stream,
the output stream will contain exactly what we want to compare,
thus, saving us a "sed" invocation.

While we're at it, change the `test_i18ncmp` to `test_cmp` because we
will never translate those messages (because of `--porcelain`).

7d15fdbe4c gitsubmodules doc: invoke 'ls-files' with '--recurse-submodules'
`git ls-files` was never taught to respect the `submodule.recurse`
configuration variable, and it is too late now to change that [1],
but still the command is mentioned in 'gitsubmodules(7)' as if it
does respect that config.

Adjust the call in 'gitsubmodules(7)' by calling 'ls-files' with the
'--recurse-submodules' option.

While at it, uniformize the capitalization in that file, and use
backticks instead of quotes for Git commands and configuration
variables.

356c473295 credential: treat CR/LF as line endings in the credential protocol
This fix makes using Git credentials more friendly to Windows users: it
allows a credential helper to communicate using CR/LF line endings ("DOS
line endings" commonly found on Windows) instead of LF-only line endings
("Unix line endings").

Note that this changes the behavior a bit: if a credential helper
produces, say, a password with a trailing Carriage Return character,
that will now be culled even when the rest of the lines end only in Line
Feed characters, indicating that the Carriage Return was not meant to be
part of the line ending.

In practice, it seems _very_ unlikely that something like this happens.
Passwords usually need to consist of non-control characters, URLs need
to have special characters URL-encoded, and user names, well, are names.

However, it _does_ help on Windows, where CR/LF line endings are common:
as unrecognized commands are simply ignored by the credential machinery,
even a command like `quit\r` (which is clearly intended to abort) would
simply be ignored (silently) by Git.

So let's change the credential machinery to accept both CR/LF and LF
line endings.

While we do this for the credential helper protocol, we do _not_ adjust
`git credential-cache--daemon` (which won't work on Windows, anyway,
because it requires Unix sockets) nor `git credential-store` (which
writes the file `~/.git-credentials` which we consider an implementation
detail that should be opaque to the user, read: we do expect users _not_
to edit this file manually).

3b990aa645 push: parse and set flag for "--force-if-includes"
The previous commit added the necessary machinery to implement the
"--force-if-includes" protection, when "--force-with-lease" is used
without giving exact object the remote still ought to have. Surface
the feature by adding a command line option and a configuration
variable to enable it.

 - Add a flag: "TRANSPORT_PUSH_FORCE_IF_INCLUDES" to indicate that the
   new option was passed from the command line of via configuration
   settings; update command line and configuration parsers to set the
   new flag accordingly.

 - Introduce a new configuration option "push.useForceIfIncludes", which
   is equivalent to setting "--force-if-includes" in the command line.

 - Update "remote-curl" to recognize and pass this option to "send-pack"
   when enabled.

 - Update "advise" to catch the reject reason "REJECT_REF_NEEDS_UPDATE",
   set when the ref status is "REF_STATUS_REJECT_REMOTE_UPDATED" and
   (optionally) print a help message when the push fails.

 - The new option is a "no-op" in the following scenarios:
    * When used without "--force-with-lease".
    * When used with "--force-with-lease", and if the expected commit
      on the remote side is specified as an argument.

99a1f9ae10 push: add reflog check for "--force-if-includes"
Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.

The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.

When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.

If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",
or specified along with "--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expect>" it
is a "no-op".

6cd80496e9 gitk: Resize panes correctly when reducing window size
The resizeclistpanes and resizecdetpanes procedures attempt to keep
the horizontal proportions of the panes of the gitk window
approximately constant when the gitk window is resized.  However, if
the size is reduced enough that an existing sash position would go
outside the window, Tk moves the sash to the left to keep it inside
the window (without moving other sash positions to keep the
proportions).  This happens before these resize procedures get
control, and so they work with incorrect proportions.

To fix this, we record the sash positions we set previously and use
those previously-set sash positions rather than the current sash
positions when computing the proportions.

e244588eb6 gitk: replace tabs with spaces
The source code is a mix of tabs and spaces. The indentation style
currently is four spaces per indent level but uses tabs every other
level (at eight spaces). Fix this inconsistent spacing and tabbing by
just using a space-indent for everything.

This was done mechanically by running:

	$ expand -i gitk >gitk.new
	$ mv gitk.new gitk

8791bf1841 commit-reach: fix in_merge_bases_many bug
Way back in f9b8908b (commit.c: use generation numbers for
in_merge_bases(), 2018-05-01), a heuristic was used to short-circuit
the in_merge_bases() walk. This works just fine as long as the
caller is checking only two commits, but when there are multiple,
there is a possibility that this heuristic is _very wrong_.

Some code moves since then has changed this method to
repo_in_merge_bases_many() inside commit-reach.c. The heuristic
computes the minimum generation number of the "reference" list, then
compares this number to the generation number of the "commit".

In a recent topic, a test was added that used in_merge_bases_many()
to test if a commit was reachable from a number of commits pulled
from a reflog. However, this highlighted the problem: if any of the
reference commits have a smaller generation number than the given
commit, then the walk is skipped _even if there exist some with
higher generation number_.

This heuristic is wrong! It must check the MAXIMUM generation number
of the reference commits, not the MINIMUM.

This highlights a testing gap. t6600-test-reach.sh covers many
methods in commit-reach.c, including in_merge_bases() and
get_merge_bases_many(), but since these methods either restrict to
two input commits or actually look for the full list of merge bases,
they don't check this heuristic!

Add a possible input to "test-tool reach" that tests
in_merge_bases_many() and add tests to t6600-test-reach.sh that
cover this heuristic. This includes cases for the reference commits
having generation above and below the generation of the input commit,
but also having maximum generation below the generation of the input
commit.

The fix itself is to swap min_generation with a max_generation in
repo_in_merge_bases_many().

7efba5fa39 format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" option
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.

This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:

    $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
    fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list

This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).

We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.

Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.

In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.

Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.

This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.

Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

3ad0401e9e submodule update: silence underlying merge/rebase with "--quiet"
Commands such as

    $ git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules --quiet

produce non-quiet output from the merge or rebase.  Pass the --quiet
option down when invoking "rebase" and "merge".

Also fix the parsing of git submodule update -v.

When e84c3cf3 (git-submodule.sh: accept verbose flag in cmd_update
to be non-quiet, 2018-08-14) taught "git submodule update" to take
"--quiet", it apparently did not know how ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet}
works, and reviewers seem to have missed that setting the variable
to "0", rather than unsetting it, still results in "--quiet" being
passed to underlying commands.
