This allows gitk to run an external diff viewer such as meld.
Right-click on a file in the file list view gives "External diff"
popup menu entry, which launches the selected external diff tool.
The menu entry is only active in "Patch" mode, not in "Tree" mode.
The program to run to display the diff is configurable through
Edit/Preference/External diff tool. The program is run with two
arguments, being the names of files containing the two versions to
diff. Gitk will create temporary directories called
.gitk-tmp.<pid>/<n> to place these files in, and remove them when
it's finished.
If the file doesn't exist in one or other revision, gitk will supply
/dev/null as the name of the file on that side of the diff. This may
need to be adjusted for Windows or MacOS.

This is based on a patch by Eric Raible <raible@gmail.com>, but does
things a bit more simply.
Previously, 'b', backspace, and delete all did the same thing.
This changes 'b' to perform the inverse of 'f'. And both of
them now highlight the filename of the currently diff.
This makes it easier to review and navigate the diffs associated
with a particular commit using only f, b, and space because the
filename of the currently display diff will be dynamically
highlighted.

Alex Riesen pointed out that displaying a commit in 'tree' mode fails
if some files have names with special characters such as '{' or '}' in
them, due to the fact that we treat the line returned from git ls-tree
as a Tcl list at one point.
This fixes it by doing what I originally intended but didn't quite
get right. We split the line from git ls-tree at the first tab and
treat the part before the tab as a list (which is OK since it doesn't
have special characters in it) and the part after the tab as the
filename.

With tcl/tk8.5 the lset command seems to behave differently. When
changing the background color through Edit->Preferences, the changes
are applied, but new dialogs, such as View->New view... barf with
Error: unknown color name "{#ffffff}"
Additionally when closing gitk, and starting it up again, a bad value
has been saved to ~/.gitk, preventing gitk from running properly; it
fails with
Error in startup script: unknown color name "{#ffffff}"
...
This commit fixes the problem by changing the color dialogs to pass
the empty string {} as the list index to choosecolor. This causes
the lset and lindex commands used by choosecolor to use and set the
whole variable (bgcolor, fgcolor or selectbgcolor) rather than
treating them as a 1-element list. Tested with tcl/tk8.4 and 8.5.

Michele Ballabio <barra_cuda@katamail.com> pointed out that gitk
sometimes throws a Tcl error (can't read "yscreen") when switching

the selected commit is on screen to start with, and then we only
scroll the canvas to bring it onscreen if yscreen is set and the
same commit exists in the new view.

Adding horizontal scroll bar makes the scrolling feature more
discoverable to the users. The horizontal scrollbar is a bit narrower
than vertical ones so we don't make too big impact on available screen
real estate. The text and scrollbar widget layout is done using grid
geometry manager.
An interesting side effect of Tk scrollbars is that the "elevator"
size changes depending on the visible content. So the horizontal
scrollbar "elevator" changes as the user scrolls the view up and down.

This allows gitk to be used to display a different set of refs each
the display is refreshed. This is useful when gitk is called from
other porcelain suites, for doing such things as displaying the set of
patches in a patch stack.
The user specifies a command as the argument to the --argscmd option.
The command is run initially and each time the display is refreshed,
and is expected to generate a list of commit IDs, one per line. Those
commits are appended to the commits passed on the command-line when
constructing the git log command to be executed.
The command is considered to be an attribute of a view, and has its
own field in the saved view, and an edit field in the view editor.

This also limits the window size to the screen size. That is better

Ignoring space changes can be helpful. For example, a commit
claims to only reformat source code and you quickly want to
verify if this claim is true. Or a commit accidentally changes
code formatting and you want to focus on the real changes.
In such cases a button to toggle of whitespace changes would be
quite handy. You could quickly toggle between seeing and
ignoring whitespace changes.
This commit adds such a checkbutton right above the diff view.
However, in general it is a good thing to see whitespace changes
and therefore the state of the checkbutton is not saved. For
example, space changes might happen unintentionally. But they are
real changes yielding different sha1s for the blobs involved.

First, paths ending in a slash were not matching anything. This fixes
path_filter to handle paths ending in a slash (such entries have to

When the user has specified a list of paths, either on the command line
or when creating a view, gitk currently displays the diffs for all files
that a commit has modified, not just the ones that match the path list.
This is different from other git commands such as git log. This change
makes gitk behave the same as these other git commands by default, that
is, gitk only displays the diffs for files that match the path list.
There is now a checkbox labelled "Limit diffs to listed paths" in the
Edit/Preferences pane. If that is unchecked, gitk will display the
diffs for all files as before.
When gitk is run with the --merge flag, it will get the list of unmerged
files at startup, intersect that with the paths listed on the command line
(if any), and use that as the list of paths.

This fixes the error reported by Michele Ballabio, where gitk will
throw a Tcl error "can't unset prevlines(...)" when displaying a
commit that has a parent commit listed more than once, and the commit
is the first child of that parent.
The problem was basically that we had two variables, prevlines and
lineends, and were relying on the invariant that prevlines($id) was
set iff $id was in the lineends($r) list for some $r. But having
a duplicate parent breaks that invariant since we end up with the
parent listed twice in lineends.
This fixes it by simplifying the logic to use only a single variable,
lineend. It also rearranges things a little so that we don't try to
draw the line for the duplicated parent twice.
