git-gui: Guess our share/git-gui/lib path at runtime if possible
Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location
of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding
it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user
wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the
packager wanted them to be installed into.
Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master
git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib.
This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix.
If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and
we get it from $argv0 rather than embedding it into the script itself.

Some of the lines in the parser code were longer than 80 characters

git-gui: Define a simple class/method system
As most of the git-gui interface is based upon "meta-widgets"
that need to carry around a good deal of state (e.g. console
windows, browser windows, blame viewer) we have a good deal
of messy code that tries to store this meta-widget state in
global arrays, where keys into the array are formed from a
union of a unique "object instance id" and the field name.
This is a simple class system for Tcl that allows us to
hide much of that mess by making Tcl do what it does best;
process strings to manipulate its own code during startup.
Each object instance is placed into its own namespace. The
namespace is created when the object instance is created and
the namespace is destroyed when the object instance is removed
from the system. Within that namespace we place variables for
each field within the class; these variables can themselves be
scalar values or full-blown Tcl arrays.
A simple class might be defined as:
class map {
field data
field size 0
constructor {} {
return $this
}
method set {name value} {
set data($name) $value
incr size
}
method size {} {
return $size
} ifdeleted { return 0 }
}
All fields must be declared before any constructors or methods. This
allows our class to generate a list of the fields so it can properly
alter the definition of the constructor and method bodies prior to
passing them off to Tcl for definition with proc. A field may optionally
be given a default/initial value. This can only be done for non-array
type fields.
Constructors are given full access to all fields of the class, so they
can initialize the data values. The default values of fields (if any)
are set before the constructor runs, and the implicit local variable
$this is initialized to the instance identifier.
Methods are given access to fields they actually use in their body.
Every method has an implicit "this" argument inserted as its first
parameter; callers of methods must be sure they supply this value.
Some basic optimization tricks are performed (but not much). We
try to only upvar (locally bind) fields that are accessed within a
method, but we err on the side of caution and may upvar more than
we need to. If a variable is accessed only once within a method
and that access is by $foo (read) we avoid the upvar and instead
use [set foo] to obtain the value. This is slightly faster as Tcl
does not need to lookup the variable twice.
We also offer some small syntatic sugar for interacting with Tk and
the fileevent callback system in Tcl. If a field (say "foo") is used
as "@foo" we insert instead the true global variable name of that
variable into the body of the constructor or method. This allows easy
binding to Tk textvariable options, e.g.:
label $w.title -textvariable @title
Proper namespace callbacks can also be setup with the special cb proc
that is defined in each namespace. [cb _foo a] will invoke the method
_foo in the current namespace, passing it $this as the first (implied)
parameter and a as the second parameter. This makes it very simple to
connect an object instance to a -command option for a Tk widget or to
a fileevent readable or writable for a file channel.

git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanity
I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.
We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.
I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.
We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.
I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a
huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of
the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library
files.

git-gui: Track our own embedded values and rebuild when they change
Like core-Git we now track the values that we embed into our shell
script wrapper, and we "recompile" that wrapper if they are changed.
This concept was lifted from git.git's Makefile, where a similar
thing was done by Eygene Ryabinkin. Too bad it wasn't just done
here in git-gui from the beginning, as the git.git Makefile support
for GIT-GUI-VARS was really just because git-gui doesn't do it on
its own.

git-gui: Correctly handle UTF-8 encoded commit messages
Uwe Kleine-König discovered git-gui mangled his surname and did
not send the proper UTF-8 byte sequence to git-commit-tree when
his name appeared in the commit message (e.g. Signed-Off-By line).
Turns out this was related to other trouble that I had in the past
with trying to use "fconfigure $fd -encoding $enc" to select the
stream encoding and let Tcl's IO engine do all of the encoding work
for us. Other parts of git-gui were just always setting the file
channels to "-encoding binary" and then performing the encoding
work themselves using "encoding convertfrom" and "convertto", as
that was the only way I could make UTF-8 filenames work properly.
I found this same bug in the amend code path, and in the blame
display. So its fixed in all three locations (commit creation,
reloading message for amend, viewing message in blame).

git-gui: Don't create empty (same tree as parent) commits.
Mark Levedahl noticed that git-gui will let you create an empty
normal (non-merge) commit if the file state in the index is out
of whack. The case Mark was looking at was with the new autoCRLF
feature in git enabled and is actually somewhat difficult to create.
I found a different way to create an empty commit: turn on the
Trust File Modifications flag, touch a file, rescan, then move
the file into the "Changes To Be Committed" list without looking
at the file's diff. This makes git-gui think there are files
staged for commit, yet the update-index call did nothing other
than refresh the stat information for the affected file. In
this case git-gui allowed the user to make a commit that did
not actually change anything in the repository.
Creating empty commits is usually a pointless operation; rarely
does it record useful information. More often than not an empty
commit is actually an indication that the user did not properly
update their index prior to commit. We should help the user out
by detecting this possible mistake and guiding them through it,
rather than blindly recording it.
After we get the new tree name back from write-tree we compare
it to the parent commit's tree; if they are the same string and
this is a normal (non-merge, non-amend) commit then something
fishy is going on. The user is making an empty commit, but they
most likely don't want to do that. We now pop an informational
dialog and start a rescan, aborting the commit.

Attempting to use `git citool` to create an initial commit caused
git-gui to crash with a Tcl error as it tried to add the newly
born branch to the non-existant branch menu. Moving this code
to after the normal commit cleanup logic resolves the issue, as
we only have a branch menu if we are not in singlecommit mode.

git-gui: Correct crash when saving options in blame mode.
Martin Waitz noticed that git-gui crashed while saving the user's
options out if the application was started in blame mode. This
was caused by the do_save_config procedure invoking reshow_diff
incase the number of context lines was modified by the user.
Because we bypassed main window UI setup to enter blame mode we
did not set many of the globals which were accessed by reshow_diff,
and reading unset variables is an error in Tcl.
Aside from moving the globals to be set earlier, I also modified
reshow_diff to not invoke clear_diff if there is no path currently
in the diff viewer. This way reshow_diff does not crash when in
blame mode due to the $ui_diff command not being defined.

So our merge dialog now requests all refs/heads, refs/remotes and

This is a very crude (but hopefully effective) check against the

There actually are early releases of 1.5 (e.g. 1.5.0-rc0) that

number column as that has some real value when trying to locate an

To keep the user entertained we have a progress meter in the status

If we are running without the commit message area, we cannot save
our window geometry either, as the root window '.' won't be a normal
commit window.

git-gui: Separate transport/branch menus from multicommit.
These are now controlled by the transport and branch options, rather
than the multicommit option.

git-gui: Refactor single_commit to a proc.
This is a minor code cleanup to make working with what used to be the
$single_commit flag easier. Its also to better handle various UI
configurations, depending on command line parameters given by the
user, or perhaps user preferences.

git-gui: Replace \ with \\ when showing paths.
We already replace \n with \\n so that Tk widgets don't start a new
display line with part of a file path which is just unlucky enough
to contain an LF. But then its confusing to read a path whose name
actually contains \n as literal characters. Escaping \ to \\ would
make that case display as \\n, clarifying the output.

git-gui: Support keyboard traversal in browser.
Users want to navigate the file list shown in our branch browser
windows using the keyboard. So we now support basic traversal
with the arrow keys:
Up/Down: Move the "selection bar" to focus on a different name.
Return: Move into the subtree, or open the annotated file.
M1-Right: Ditto.
M1-Up: Move to the parent tree.
M1-Left: Ditto.
Probably the only feature missing from this is to key a leading part
of the file name and jump directly to that file (or subtree).
This change did require a bit of refactoring, to pull the navigation
logic out of the mouse click procedure and into more generic routines
which can also be used in bindings.

git-gui: Update known branches during rescan.
If the user has created (or deleted) a branch through an external tool,
and uses Rescan, they probably are trying to make git-gui update to show
their newly created branch.
So now we load all known heads and update the branch menu during any
rescan operation, just in-case the set of known branches was modified.

git-gui: Assign background colors to each blame hunk.
To help the user visually see which lines are associated with each other
in the file we attempt to sign a unique background color to each commit
and then render all text associated with that commit using that color.
This works out OK for a file which has very few commits in it; but
most files don't have that property.
What we really need to do is look at what colors are used by our
neighboring commits (if known yet) and pick a color which does not
conflict with our neighbor. If we have run out of colors then we
should force our neighbor to recolor too. Yes, its the graph coloring
problem.

git-gui: Use a grid layout for the blame viewer.
Using a panedwindow to display the blame viewer's individual columns
just doesn't make sense. Most of the important data fits within the
columns we have allocated, and those that don't the leading part fits
and that's good enough. There are just too many columns within this
viewer to let the user sanely control individual column widths. This
change shouldn't really be an issue for most git-gui users as their
displays should be large enough to accept this massive dump of data.
We now also have a properly working horizontal scrollbar for the
current file data area. This makes it easier to get away with a
narrow window when screen space is limited, as you can still scroll
around within the file content.

git-gui: Install column headers in blame viewer.
I started to get confused about what each column meant in the blame
viewer, and I'm the guy who wrote the code! So now git-gui hints to
the user about what each column is by drawing headers at the top.
Unfortunately this meant I had to use those dreaded frame objects
which seem to cause so much pain on Windows.

git-gui: Display original filename and line number in blame.
When we annotate a file and show its line data, we're already asking
for copy and movement detection (-M -C). This costs extra time, but
gives extra data. Since we are asking for the extra data we really
should show it to the user.
Now the blame UI has two additional columns, one for the original
filename (in the case of a move/copy between files) and one for the
original line number of the current line of code.
