There appears to be a bug on one of my test systems where cygpath with
the --long-name option is generating a corrupt string that does not
actually refer to sh.exe. This breaks any desktop icon created by
git-gui as the executable we are trying to invoke does not exist.
Since Cygwin is typically installed as C:\cygwin long path names is
probably not actually necessary to link to the shell.
I also added a small echo to the start of the icon script, as it can
take one of my test systems several seconds to startup git-gui. This
way the user knows we're starting git-gui, and was politely asked to
wait for the action to complete.

We no longer describe updating the index as including changes, as we
now use the add notation used by core Git's command line tools. So
its confusing to be talking about unincluded changes within the revert
dialog. Instead we should used language like 'unadded changes'.

Apparently I did not account for the D_ file state. This can occur when
a file has been marked for deletion by deleting it from the index, and
the file also does not exist in the working directory. Typically this
happens when the user deletes the file, hits Rescan, then includes the
missing file in the commit, then hits Rescan again. We don't find the
file in the working directory but its been removed in the index, so the
state becomes D_.
This state should be identical with DD. I'm not entirely sure why DD
occurs sometimes and D_ others, it would seem like D_ is the state that
should be happening instead of DD, leading me to believe there is a quirk
in git-gui's state manipulation code.

Now that git 1.5.0-rc1 and later has a 'git gc' command which performs
all important repository management activites (including reflog pruning,
repacking local objects, unnecessary loose object pruning and rerere cache
expiration) we should run 'gc' when the user wants us to cleanup their
object database for them.
I think the name 'gc' is horrible for a GUI application like git-gui,
so I'm labeling the menu action 'Compress Database' instead. Hopefully
this will provide some clue to the user about what the action does.

In one particular case I have a tool called 'miga' which users may need
to invoke on their repository. This is a homegrown tool which is not
(and should be) part of git-gui, but I still want to be able to run it

Right now I'm taking a shortcut and adding it to the Tools menu if
we are not on Mac OS X and the support script used to launch the tool
exists in the local filesystem. This is nothing but a complete and

Now that git-add is a first class citizen in core Git (Nico's 366bfcb6)

If the user has partial includes disabled then it doesn't matter what
state the working directory is in; if the file has been included in
the next commit its index state is A or M and we should immediately
run update-index on the working directory file to bring the index in
sync with the working directory.

If a file has a merge conflict (index state = U) the user will need to
run update-index on that file to resolve all stages down to stage 0,
by including the file in the working directory.
Like core Git we'll just trust the user that their resolution is
correct, and that they didn't just include the file into the commit
while merge conflicts still exist within the file.

Since this list is really the set of refs which match "refs/heads/*" it

Users sometimes need to be able to throw away locally modified files
in order to go back to the last committed version of that file. To

Sometimes its useful to start gitk with the --all option, to view all of
the known branches and tags within this repository. Rather than making
the user startup gitk and then edit the view we can pass the option along
for them.
This also makes it slightly more explicit, that when gitk starts up by
default its showing the current branch and not everything. Yes gitk
isn't showing that to the user, but the fact that the user had to make
a decision between seeing this current branch or all branches will
hopefully make them study gitk's display before jumping to a conclusion.

Because the Tcl binary distributed with Cygwin tends to not pass along
its own environment (the env array) to its children, its unlikely that
any Git commands spawned by git-gui will receive the same environment
variables that git-gui itself received from the shell which started it.
If the user is counting on environment variables to pass down, like say
GIT_INDEX_FILE, they may not, so we warn them during git-gui startup
that things may not work out as the user intended. Perhaps one day
when git-gui and git are running on native Windows (rather than through
the Cygwin emulation layers) things will work better.

Users may need to know what version of Tcl they are running git-gui
under, in case there is an interesting interface quirk or other
compatability problem we don't know about right now that we may

We also try to reduce the amount of text shown as often the Tcl and Tk

It is tradition for applications to store their about and preferences
menu options within the application menu. This is the first menu in
the menu bar, just after the apple menu. Apparently the way to access
this menu from Tk on Mac OS X systems is to create a special menu whose
name ends in ".apple" and place it into the menu bar.
So now if we are on Mac OS X we move our about menu and our options menu
into the application menu, like other Mac OS X applications.

It would be something of a disservice to our users if we refer to

the action then "fsck-objects" does, especially to users who aren't

I recently found a need to run fsck-objects in a number of repositories
that I also use git-gui against. Tossing in a menu option to invoke
fsck-objects and have its output show up in a console window is simple
enough to do.
We probably need to enhance the console window used by fsck-objects,
like to open up the Git fsck-objects manual page and let the user see
what each message means (such as "dangling commit") and to also let the
user invoke prune, to cleanup any such dangling objects. But right now
I'm going to ignore that problem in favor of getting other more important
features implemented.

Its useful to be able to amend the last commit even if it was a merge
commit, so we really should support that in the gui. We now do so by
making PARENT a list. We always diff against the first parent but we
create a commit consisting of the parent(s) listed in this list, in
order.
We also should recheck the repository state during an amend. Earlier
I was bitten by this exact bug when I switched branches through a
command prompt and then did not do a rescan in git-gui. When I hit
"Amend Last Commit" I was surprised to see information from the prior
branch appear. This was due to git-gui caching the data from the last
rescan and using that data form the amend data load request, rather than
the data of the current branch.
Improved error text in the dialogs used to tell the user why an amend is
being refused by git-gui. In general this is only during an initial
commit (nothing prior to amend) and during a merge commit (it is simply
too confusing to amend the last commit while also trying to complete a
merge).
Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the pull logic. Since this code isn't
really useful nobody has recently tested it and noticed the breakage.
It really needs to be rewritten anyway.

In order to allow the user to toggle include/exclude from next commit
for files which were partially included in the last commit we need the

The tags used for diff formatting (which I inherited from gitool) just
didn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if you wanted to try to
match them to the diff output you were seeing on screen. It did not
help that the diff-index -c output's first two columns are also munged
to make the diff output more user friendly.
So this is a large refactoring of the tags used for diff display. Now
our tag names match what we put in the left column of each line, which
makes it easier to correlate presentation and implementation.
I removed bold font usage from everything except the hunk headers as I
really did not like the way bold font caused column alignments to become
out of whack within the diff viewer. It also drew attention to the parts
of the file which were identically changed in both the index and in the
working directory, yet these are usually the parts I find myself caring
the least about. So its very counter-intuitive.
Lines which are changed differently by both the index and the working
directory are now shown with background colors which span the entire line,
making these lines easier to pick out of the diff. In general these are
the lines that appear to be more interesting to me when looking at the
3-way diff as they are the ones which contain recent and quite different
changes.

New files also lack index data from diff-files therefore we cannot use
their diff-files index data when we update-index. Instead we can use
