* git-gui: Refactor branch switch to support detached headShawn O. Pearce2007-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently). Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool) to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge repositories. Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
* git-gui: Refactor our ui_status_value update techniqueShawn O. Pearce2007-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm really starting to dislike global variables. The ui_status_value global varible is just one of those that seems to appear in a lot of code and in many cases we didn't even declare it "global" within the proc that updates it so we haven't always been getting all of the updates we expected to see. This change introduces two new global procs: ui_status $msg; # Sets the status bar to show $msg. ui_ready; # Changes the status bar to show "Ready." The second (special) form is used because we often update the area with this message once we are done processing a block of work and want the user to know we have completed it. I'm not fixing the cases that appear in lib/branch.tcl right now as I'm actually in the middle of a huge refactoring of that code to support making a detached HEAD checkout. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* git-gui: Honor rerere.enabled configuration optionShawn O. Pearce2007-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently in git.git change b4372ef136 Johannes Schindelin taught git-commit.sh to invoke (or skip) calling git-rerere based upon the rerere.enabled configuration setting: So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if .git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable rerere temporarily. If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection of the directory .git/rr-cache. We now do the same logic in git-gui's own commit implementation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanityShawn O. Pearce2007-05-07
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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
