* Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8Junio C Hamano2007-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters. The double colon at the end of definition list term needs to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * | git-gui: Save geometry before the window layout is damagedShawn O. Pearce2007-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because Tk does not assure us the order that it will process children in before it destroys the main toplevel we cannot safely save our geometry data during a "bind . <Destroy>" event binding. The geometry may have already changed as a result of a one or more children being removed from the layout. This was pointed out in gitk by Mark Levedahl, and patched over there by commit b6047c5a8166a71e01c6b63ebbb67c6894d95114. So we now also use "wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW" to detect when the window is closed by the user, and forward that close event to our main do_quit routine. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Give amend precedence to HEAD over MERGE_MSGShawn O. Pearce2007-06-11

We actually were doing the same here in git-gui, but the amended message got lost if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG already existed because we started a rescan immediately after loading the prior commit's body into the edit buffer. When that happened the rescan found MERGE_MSG existed and replaced the commit message buffer with the contents of that file. This meant the user never saw us pick up the commit message of the prior commit we are about to replace. Johannes Sixt <J.Sixt@eudaptics.com> found this bug in git-gui by running `git cherry-pick -n $someid` and then trying to amend the prior commit in git-gui, thus combining the contents of $someid with the contents of HEAD, and reusing the commit message of HEAD, not $someid. With the recent changes to make cherry-pick use the $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file Johannes saw git-gui pick up the message of $someid, not HEAD. Now we always use HEAD if we are amending.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier git.git applied a large "war on whitespace" patch that was created using 'apply --whitespace=strip'.

| * | git-gui: Changed blame header bar background to match main windowgitgui-0.7.3Shawn O. Pearce2007-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main window's diff header bar background switched from orange to gold recently, and I liked the effect it had on readability of the text.

| * | git-gui: Favor the original annotations over the recent onesShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually when you are looking at blame annotations for a region of a file you are more interested in why something was originally done then why it is here now. This is because most of the time when we get original annotation data we are looking at a simple refactoring performed to better organize code, not to change its semantic meaning or function. Reorganizations are sometimes of interest, but not usually. We now show the original commit data first in the tooltip. This actually looks quite nice as the original commit will usually have an author date prior to the current (aka move/copy) annotation's commit, so the two commits will now tend to appear in chronological order. I also found myself to always be clicking on the line of interest in the file column but I always wanted the original tracking data and not the move/copy data. So I changed our default commit from $asim_data (the simple move/copy annotation) to the more complex $amov_data (the -M -C -C original annotation). Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| * | git-gui: Improve our labeling of blame annotation typesShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It feels wrong to call the -M -C -C annotations "move/copy tracking" as they are actually the original locations. So I'm relabeling the status bar to show "copy/move tracking annotations" for the current file (no -M -C -C) as that set of annotations tells us who put the hunk here (who moved/copied it). I'm now calling the -M -C -C pass "original location annotations" as that's what we're really digging for. I also tried to clarify some of the text in the hover tooltip. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| * | git-gui: Use three colors for the blame viewer backgroundShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent neighboring lines that are different commits from using the same background color we now use 3 colors and assign them by selecting the color that is not used before or after the line in question. We still color "on the fly" as we receive hunks from git-blame, but we delay our color decisions until we are getting the original location data (the slower -M -C -C pass) as that is usually more fine-grained than the current location data. Credit goes to Martin Waitz for the tri-coloring concept. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Jump to original line in blame viewerShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the user clicks on a commit link within one of the columns in the blame viewer we now jump them not just to that commit/file pair but also to the line of the original file. This saves the user a lot of time, as they don't need to search through the new file data for the chunk they were previously looking at. We also restore the prior view when the user clicks the back button to return to a pior commit/file pair that they were looking at. Turned out this was quite tricky to get working in Tk. Every time I tried to jump the text widgets to the correct locations by way of the "yview moveto" or "see" subcommands Tk performed the change until the current event finished dispatching, and then reset the views back to 0, making the change never take place. Forcing Tk to run the pending events before we jump the UI resolves the issue. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Display both commits in our tooltipsShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have commit data from both the simple blame and the rename/move tracking blame and they differ than there is a bigger story to tell.

| * | git-gui: Run blame twice on the same file and display both outputsShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06

Our first pass is a quick "git-blame" with no options, getting the details of how each line arrived into this file. We are specifically ignoring/omitting the rename detection logic as this first pass is to determine why things got into the state they are in. Once the first pass is complete and is displayed in the UI we run a second pass, using the much more CPU intensive "-M -C -C" options to perform extensive rename/movement detection. The output of this second pass is shown in a different column, allowing the user to see for any given line how it got to be, and if it came from somewhere else, where that is. This is actually very instructive when run on our own lib/branch.tcl script. That file grew recently out of a very large block of code in git-gui.sh. The first pass shows when I created that file, while the second pass shows the original commit information. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Display the "Loading annotation..." message in italicShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user clicks on a line region that we haven't yet received an annotation for from git-blame we show them "Loading annotation". But I don't want the user to confuse this loading message with a commit whose first line is "Loading annotation" and think we messed up our display somehow. Since we never use italics for anything else, I'm going with the idea that italic slant can be used to show data is missing/elided out at the time being. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| * | git-gui: Rename fields in blame viewer to better descriptionsShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calling the commit message pane $w_cmit is a tad confusing when we also have the $w_cgrp column that shows the abbreviated SHA-1s. So w_cmit -> w_cviewer, as it is the "commit viewer"; and w_cgrp -> w_amov as it is the "annotated commit + move tracking" column. Also changed line_data -> amov_data, as that list is exactly the results shown in w_amov. Why call the column "move tracking"? Because this column holds data from "git blame -M -C". I'm considering adding an additional column that holds the data from "git blame" without -M/-C, showing who did the copy/move, and when they did it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| * | git-gui: Label the uncommitted blame history entryShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user runs the blame viewer on a working directory file instead of a specific commit-ish then we have no value for the commit SHA1 or the summary line; this causes the history menu to get an empty entry at the very bottom.

| * | git-gui: Switch internal blame structure to Tcl listsShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Tcl list datatype is significantly faster to work with than the array type, especially if our indexes are a consecutive set of numbers, like say line numbers in a file. This rather large change reorganizes the internal data structure of the blame viewer to use a proper Tcl list for the annotation information about a line. Each line is given its own list within the larger line_data list, where the indexes correspond to various facts about that particular line. The interface does seem to be more responsive this way, with less time required by Tcl to process blame, and to switch to another version of the same file. It could just be a placebo effect, but either way most Tcl experts perfer lists for this type of work over arrays. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Cleanup redundant column management in blame viewerShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to handle our three different text widgets is a bit on the messy side as we issue the same command on all three widgets one at a time. Adding (or removing) columns from the viewer is messy, as a lot of locations need to have the new column added into the sequence, or removed from it. We also now delete the tags we create for each commit when we switch to display another "commit:path" pair. This way the text viewer doesn't get bogged down with a massive number of tags as we traverse through history. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Better document our blame variablesShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The array variable "order" used to be used to tell us in what order each commit was received in. Recent changes have removed that need for an ordering and the "order" array is now just a boolean 'do we have that commit yet' flag. The colors were moved to fields, so they appear inside of the blame viewer instance. This keeps two different concurrently running blame viewers from stepping on each other's ordering of the colors in group_colors. Most of the other fields were moved around a little bit so that they are organized by major category and value lifespan. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After we finish reading a chunk of data from the file stream we know how many digits we need in the line number column to show the current maximum line number. If our line number column isn't wide enough, we should expand it out to the correct width. Any file over our default allowance of 5 digits (99,999 lines) is so large that the slight UI "glitch" when we widen the column out is trivial compared to the time it will take Git to fully do the annotations.

| * | git-gui: Make the line number column slightly wider in blameShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most source code files are under 9,999 lines of text, so using a field width of 5 characters meant that we should have had one char padding on the left edge (because we right-justify the line number). Unfortunately when I added the right margin earlier (when I removed the padding) I ate into the extra character's space, losing the left margin. This put the line numbers too close to the commit column in any file with more than 999 lines in it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Mac OS X the OS has "features" that like to draw thick black borders around the text field that has focus. This is nice if you want to know where your text is going and are blind as a bat, but it isn't the best thing to have in a table that is being faked through the abuse of Tk text widgets. By setting our takefocus, highlightthickness and padx/y we can get rid of this border and get our text widgets packed right next to each other, with no padding between them. This makes the blame background color smoothly run across the entire line of commit data, line number and file content. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

This way users would know if the line(s) they were interested in were ready for viewing, or if they still had to wait. It also was an entertaining way for the user to spend their time waiting for git-blame --incremental to compute the complete set of annotations. However it is completely useless now that we show the abbreviated commit SHA-1 and author initials in the leftmost column. That area is empty until we get the annotation data, and as soon as we get it in we display something there, indicating to the user that there is now blame data ready. Further with the tooltips the user is likely to see the data as soon as it comes in, as they are probably not keeping their mouse perfectly still. So I'm removing the field to save screen space for more useful things, like file content. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently Tk on Mac OS X won't draw a button with an image using a transparent background. Instead it draws the button using some sort of 3D effect, even though I asked for no relief and no border. The background is also not our orange that we expected it to be. Earlier I had tried this same trick on Windows and it draws the same way as the button did, so I'm going to switch to the label as that seems to be more portable. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

We now offer somewhat similiar functionality in git-gui. The 4 digit commit abreviation in the first column of our blame view is now offered as a hyperlink if the commit isn't the one we are now viewing the blame output for (as there is no point in linking back to yourself). Clicking on that link will stop the current blame engine (if still running), push the new target commit onto the history stack, and restart the blame viewer at that commit, using the "original file name" as supplied by git-blame for that chunk of the output. Users can navigate back to a version they had been viewing before by way of a back button, which offers the prior commits in a popup menu displayed right below the back button. I'm always showing the menu here as the cost of switching between views is very high; you don't want to jump to a commit you are not interested in looking at again. During switches we throw away all data except the cached commit data, as that is relatively small compared to most source files and their annotation marks. Unfortunately throwing this per-file data away in Tcl seems to take some time; I probably should move the line indexed arrays to proper lists and use [lindex] rather than the array lookup (usually lists are faster). We now start the git-blame process using "nice", so that its priority will drop hopefully below our own. If I don't do this the blame engine gets a lot of CPU under Windows 2000 and the git-gui user interface is almost non-responsive, even though Tcl is just sitting there waiting for events.

| * | git-gui: Display a progress bar during blame annotation gatheringShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Computing the blame records for a large file with a long project history can take git a while to run; traditionally we have shown a little meter in the status area of our blame viewer that lets the user know how many lines have been finished, and how far we are through the process. Usually such progress indicators are drawn with a little progress bar in the window, where the bar shows how much has been completed and hides itself when the process is complete. I'm using a very simple hack to do that: draw a canvas with a filled rectangle. Of course the time remaining has absolutely no relationship to the progress meter. It could take very little time for git-blame to get the first 90% of the file, and then it could take many times that to get the remaining 10%. So the progress meter doesn't really have any sort of assurances that it relates to the true progress of the work. But in practice on some ugly history it does seem to hold a reasonable indicator to the completion status. Besides, its amusing to watch and that keeps the user from realizing git is being somewhat slow. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Allow the user to control the blame/commit split pointShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At one point I tried to present the blame viewer to an audience of people on a 640 by 480 pixel LCD projector. This did not work at all as the top area (the file data) was taking up all of the screen realestate and the split point was not adjustable by the user. In general locking the user into a specific ratio of display is just not user friendly. So we now place a split pane control into the middle of our blame window, so the user can adjust it to their current needs. If the window increases (or decreases) in height we assign the difference to the file data area, as that is generally the area of the window that users are trying to see more of when they grow the window. Unfortunately there appears to be a bug in the "pack" layout manager in Tcl/Tk 8.4.1. The status bar and the lower commit pane was being squashed if the window decreased in height. I think the pack manager was just not decreasing the size of the panedwindow slave properly if the main window shrank. Switching to the "grid" layout manager fixes the problem, but is slightly uglier setup code. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
| * | git-gui: Show author initials in blame groupsShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06

The tooltips nicely show this if I mouse over a block, but it doesn't work to get this detail at a glance. Since we don't use the leftmost commit column for anything after the first line within a commit group I'm now tossing the author's initials into that field, right justified. It is quite clearly not a SHA-1 number as we always show the SHA-1 in lowercase, while we explicitly select only the uppercase characters from an author's name field, and only those that are following whitespace. I'm using initials here over anything else as they are quite commonly unique within small development teams. The leading part of the email address field was out for some of the teams I work with, as there the email addresses are all of the form "Givenname.Surname@initech.com". That will never fit into the 4 characters available. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The | in the continued lines of the same commit group as not easily seen on the left edge; putting a single space in front of the pipe makes it slightly more visually appealing to me as I can follow the line down through the group to the next commit marker.

| * | git-gui: Highlight the blame commit header from everything elseShawn O. Pearce2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The selected commit's blame header is now drawn in green, using the same background color that is shown in the main file content viewer. The result is a much better looking commit pane, as we use bold for header "keys" and proportional width fonts for the stuff that doesn't need to be fixed width to maintain its formatting.
