* | git-gui: Initialize Tcl's msgcat library for internationalizationShawn O. Pearce2007-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* | git-gui: Locate the library directory early during startupShawn O. Pearce2007-09-01
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-gui: Correct 'git gui blame' in a subdirectorygitgui-0.8.2Shawn O. Pearce2007-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Do not offer to stage three-way diff hunks into the indexShawn O. Pearce2007-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* git-gui: Refactor diff pane popup support for future improvementsShawn O. Pearce2007-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The current popup_diff_menu procedure is somewhat messy as it has a few duplications of the same logic in each of the different legs of the routine. We can simplify these by setting a few state variables in the different legs. No functional change, just a cleanup to make it easier to implement future functional changes within this block.

* git-gui: Fix "unoptimized loading" to not cause git-gui to crashShawn O. Pearce2007-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Paper bag fix "Stage Hunk For Commit" in diff context menuShawn O. Pearce2007-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a13ee29b975d3a9a012983309e842d942b2bbd44 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).

* git-gui: Allow git-merge to use branch names in conflict markersShawn O. Pearce2007-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Fix window manager problems on ion3Shawn O. Pearce2007-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cehteh on #git noticed that secondary windows such as console windows from push/fetch/merge or the blame browser failed on ion when we tried to open them a second time. The issue turned out to be the fact that on ion [winfo ismapped .] returns false if . is not visible right now because it has been obscured by another window in the same panel. So we need to keep track of whether or not the root window has been displayed for this application, and once it has been we cannot ever assume that ismapped is going to return true.

* git-gui: Avoid Tcl error in popup menu on diff viewerShawn O. Pearce2007-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | If there is no path currently shown in the diff viewer then we were getting Tcl errors anytime the user right-clicked on the diff viewer to bring up its popup menu. The bug here is caused by trying to get the file_state for the empty string; this path is never seen so we never have file_state for it. In such cases we now disable the Stage Hunk For Commit option.

* git-gui: Use more modern looking icons in the tree browserShawn O. Pearce2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a replacement of all of the icons in our tree browser window, as the prior icons just looked too 1980s Tk-ish. The icons used here are actually from a KDE themed look, so they might actually be familiar to some users of git-gui. Aside from using more modern looking icons we now have a special icon for executable blobs, to make them stand out from the normal non-executable blobs. We also denote symlinks now with a different icon, so they stand out from the other types of objects in the tree. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Don't offer to stage hunks from untracked filesShawn O. Pearce2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | If the user looks at an untracked file in our diff pane we used to offer "Stage Hunk For Commit" in the context menu when they right-clicked in that pane. The problem is we don't actually have any diff hunks in untracked files, so there is nothing to really select for staging. So we now grey out the menu item, so the user cannot invoke it and think its broken when it does not perform any useful action. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Make sure remotes are loaded when picking revisionsShawn O. Pearce2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Use progress bar while resetting/aborting filesShawn O. Pearce2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | Resetting a large number of files on a slow filesystem can take considerable time, just as switching branches in such a case can take more than two seconds. We now take advantage of the progress meter output by read-tree and show it in the main window status bar, just like we do during checkout (branch switch). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Honor core.excludesfile when listing extra filesShawn O. Pearce2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | Recent git versions have a git-status that honors the core.excludesfile configuration option when it reports on untracked files. Unfortunately I missed the introduction of this configuration option in the core porcelain implementation, so it was not reflected here in git-gui.

* git-gui: Don't kill modified commit message buffer with merge templatesShawn O. Pearce2007-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-gui: Remove usernames from absolute SSH urls during mergingShawn O. Pearce2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-gui: Format tracking branch merges as though they were pullsShawn O. Pearce2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-gui: Replace merge dialog with our revision picker widgetShawn O. Pearce2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Show ref last update times in revision chooser tooltipsShawn O. Pearce2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Display commit/tag/remote info in tooltip of revision pickerShawn O. Pearce2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our revision chooser mega-widget now sets up tooltips for itself so that it displays details about a commit (or a tag and the commit it refers to) when the user mouses over that line in the filtered ref list. If the item is from a remote tracking branch then we also show the remote url and what branch on that remote we fetch from, so the user has a clear concept of where that revision data originated. To help the merge dialog I've also added a new constructor that makes the dialog only offer unmerged revisions (those not in HEAD), as this allows users to avoid performing merges only to get "Already up to date" messages back from core Git.

* git-gui: Avoid unnecessary symbolic-ref call during checkoutShawn O. Pearce2007-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we are checking out the branch we are already on then there is no need to call symbolic-ref to update the HEAD pointer to the "new" branch name, it is already correct. Currently this situation does not happen very often, but it can be seen in some workflows where the user always recreates their local branch from a remote tracking branch and more-or-less ignores what branch he/she is on right now. As they say, ignorance is bliss. This case will however become a tad more common when we overload checkout_op to actually also perform all of our merges. In that case we will likely see that the branch we want to "checkout" is the current branch, as we are actually just merging into it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Refactor current branch menu items to make i18n easierShawn O. Pearce2007-07-23
| | | | | | | | | The i18n team has also identified a rather ugly block of code in git-gui that is used to make a pair of Repository menu items show the current branch name. This code is difficult to convert to use [mc ...] to lookup the translation, so I'm refactoring it into a procedure. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

* git-gui: Paper bag fix quitting crash after commitShawn O. Pearce2007-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | My earlier introduction of the GITGUI_BCK file (which saves the user's commit message buffer while they are typing it) broke the Quit function. If the user makes a commit we delete the GITGUI_BCK file; if they then immediately quit the application we fail to rename the GITGUI_BCK file to GITGUI_MSG. This is because the file does not exist, but our flag still says it does. The root cause is we did not unset the flag during commit. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Clarify meaning of add tracked menu optionShawn O. Pearce2007-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junio recently pointed out on the mailing list that our "Add Existing" feature is a lot like `git add -u`, which is generally described as "(Re)Add Tracked Files". This came up during discussion of how to translate "Add Existing" into Japanese, as the individual working on the translation was not quite sure what the option meant and therefore had some trouble selecting the best translation. I'm changing the menu option to "Add Tracked Files To Commit" and the button to "Add Tracked". This should help new users to better understand the actions behind those GUI widgets.

* git-gui: Fix unnecessary fast-forward during checkoutShawn O. Pearce2007-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we are trying to checkout a local branch which is matched to a remote tracking branch, but the local branch is newer than the remote tracking branch we actually just want to switch to the local branch. The local branch is "Already up to date". Unfortunately we tossed away the local branch's commit SHA-1 and kept the remote tracking branch's SHA-1, which meant that the user lost the local changes when we updated the working directory. At least we did not update the local branch ref, so the user's data was still intact. We now toss the tracking branch's SHA-1 and replace with the local branch's SHA-1 before the checkout, ensuring that we pass of the right tree to git-read-tree when we update the working directory.

| | | | | | | | | | This menu option of Tools/Migrate has been living inside of git-gui as a local hack to support some coworkers of mine.

* git-gui: Internally allow fetch without storing for future pull supportShawn O. Pearce2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is actually just an underlying code improvement that has no user visible component yet. UI improvements to actually fetch and merge via an arbitrary remote with no tracking branches must still follow to make this change useful for the end-user. Our tracking branch specifications are a Tcl list of three components: - local tracking branch name - remote name/url - remote branch name/tag name This change just makes the first element optional. If it is an empty string we will run the fetch, but have the value be saved only into the special .git/FETCH_HEAD, where we can pick it up and use it for this one time operation.

* git-gui: Skip unnecessary read-tree work during checkoutShawn O. Pearce2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | I totally missed this obvious optimization in the checkout code path. If our current repository HEAD is actually at the commit we are moving to, and we agreed to perform this switch earlier, then we have no files to update in the working directory and any stale mtimes are simply not of consequence right now. We can pretend like we ran a read-tree and skip right into the post-read-tree work, such as updating the branch and setting the symbolic-ref. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Simplify error case for unsupported merge typesShawn O. Pearce2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we are given a merge type we don't understand in checkout_op there is probably a bug in git-gui somewhere that allowed this unknown merge strategy to come into this part of the code path. We currently only recognize three merge types ('none', 'ff' and 'reset') but are going to be supporting more in the future. Rather than keep editing this message I'm going with a very generic "Uh, we don't do that!" type of error. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Factor out common fast-forward merge caseShawn O. Pearce2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In both the ff and reset merge_types supported by checkout_op the result is the same if the merge base of our target commit and the existing commit is the existing commit: its a fast-forward as the existing commit is fully contained in the target commit. This minor cleanup in logic will make it easier to implement a new kind of merge_type that actually merges the two trees with a real merge strategy, such as git-merge-recursive.

* git-gui: Save the merge base during checkout_op processingShawn O. Pearce2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | I've decided to teach checkout_op how to perform more than just a fast-forward and reset type of merge. This way we can also do a full recursive merge even when we are recreating an existing branch from a remote. To help with that process I'm saving the merge-base we computed during the ff/reset/fail decision process, in case we need it later on when we actually start a true merge operation.
