Shawn O. Pearce	0b81261622	git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executables Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32. While I was working on this change I also converted all of our existing pipes ([open "\| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper functions. These functions take additional options like --nice and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available) or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

Shawn O. Pearce	d41b43eb4c	git-gui: Refactor branch switch to support detached head 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>	18 years ago
Shawn O. Pearce	560eddc00c	git-gui: Sort tags descending by tagger date When trying to create a branch from a tag most people are looking for a recent tag, not one that is ancient history. Rather than sorting tags by their string we now sort them by taggerdate, as this places the recent tags at the top of the list and the very old ones at the end. Tag date works nicely as an approximation of the actual history order of commits. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>	18 years ago
Shawn O. Pearce	6f2a3fc812	git-gui: Optimize for newstyle refs/remotes layout Most people using Git 1.5.x and later are using the newer style of remotes layout where all of their tracking branches are in refs/remotes and refs/heads contains only the user's own local branches. In such a situation we can avoid calling is_tracking_branch for each head we are considering because we know that all of the heads must be local branches if no fetch option or Pull: line maps a branch into that namespace. If however any remote maps a remote branch into a local tracking branch that resides in refs/heads we do exactly what we did before, which requires scanning through all fetch lines in case any patterns are matched. I also switched some regexp/regsub calls to string match as this can be a faster operation for prefix matching. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>	18 years ago
Shawn O. Pearce	3206c63d0a	git-gui: Refactor the delete branch dialog to use class system A simple refactoring of the delete branch dialog to allow use of the class construct to better organize the code and to reuse the revision selection code of our new choose_rev mega-widget.

Shawn O. Pearce	b1fa2bfff3	git-gui: Abstract the revision picker into a mega widget This rather large change pulls the "Starting Revision" part of the new branch dialog into a mega widget that we can use anytime we need to select a commit SHA-1. To make use of the mega widget I have also refactored the branch dialog to use the class system, much like the delete remote branch dialog already does. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Shawn O. Pearce	905d9c9653	git-gui: Allow creating a branch when none exists If the user has no branches at all (their refs/heads/ is empty) and they are on a detached HEAD we have a valid repository but there are no branches to populate into the branch pulldown in the create branch dialog. Instead of erroring out we can skip that part of the dialog, much like we do with tracking branches or tags when the user doesn't have any. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Shawn O. Pearce	f522c9b5ed	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 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>	18 years ago
