If we can't locate a .git directory for the given directory we need to
show a message to the user to let them know the directory wasn't found.
But since this is before we have shown our main application window we
cannot use that as the parent for the error popup; on Mac OS X this
causes an error and prevents the dialog from showing.
Instead only add -parent . to the popup call if we have mapped (shown)
the main window.

If a user works with a repository frequently they may want to just
create an icon they can use to launch git-gui against that repository.
Since we already support this concept on Windows we can do the same on
Mac OS X by creating a .app file with a tiny shell script in it that
sets up the necessary environment then invokes our script.

Since we have some serious problems with the GIT_DIR environment variable

If we are running on Windows we now offer a 'Create Desktop Icon' menu
item under the Project menu. This pops up a save dialog box letting
the user create a .bat file on their desktop (or somewhere else). The
.bat script will startup Cygwin with a login shell then launch git-gui
in the current working directory.
This is very useful for Windows users who have little to no desire to
start a command window just to run a git-gui session.

Some users may want to start us by running "git --git-dir=... gui"
rather than trying to cd into the directory first. This is especially
true if they want to just make a shortcut to our executable on Windows
and always have that associated with a certain repository.
Since Tcl on Windows throws away our environment and doesn't pass it
down to the child process correctly we cannot call git-rev-parse to
get the GIT_DIR environment variable. So instead we ask for it
specifically ourselves; if its not defined then we ask rev-parse.
This should actually reduce startup by 1 fork/exec if we were started
as "git gui" as GIT_DIR will be set for us.

There is no reason why the user should be able to operate on the diff
buffer if there is no currently selected diff; likewise the "File:"
label text appears rather silly looking all by itself when no diff
is being shown in the diff buffer.
So now we only enable widgets (like menu items) if there is a diff
currently showing, and we disable them when a diff isn't showing.

If the user has "Allow Partially Included Files" disabled (and most
probably will as its the default setting) we should run update-index
on every included file before commit to make sure that any changes
made by the user since the last rescan will still be part of this
commit.
If we don't update-index every modified file the user will likely
become confused when part of their changes were committed and other
parts weren't; and those other parts won't show up until a later
rescan occurs. Since we don't rescan immediately after a commit
this may be a while.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Like rescan we also have cases where we need to perform a script
after we have finished updating a number of files in the index. By
changing the parameter structure of update_index we can easily pass
through any script we need to run afterwards, such as picking up
in the middle of a commit, or finishing what is left of a rescan.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
There are some situations where we need to run rescan and have it do
more than just updating the status in the UI when its complete. To
help with that this changes the rescan procedure to take a script which
it will run at the global level as soon as the rescan is done and the
UI has finished updating with the results. This is useful for example
if we performed a rescan as part of a commit operation; we can go back
to the commit where we left off when the rescan got initiated.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Since we refer to the act of updating our memory structures with index

Because I want to let users apply actions to more than one file at
a time we really needed a concept of "the current selection" from
the two file lists.
Since I'm abusing a Tk text widget for the file displays I can't
really use the Tk selection to track which files are picked and
which aren't. So instead we keep this in an array to tell us
which paths are currently selected and we use an inverse fg/bg
for the selected file display. This is common most operating
systems as a selection indicator.
The selection works like most users would expect; single click will
clear the selection and pick only that file, M1-click (aka Ctrl-click
or Cmd-click) will toggle the one file in/out of the selection, and
Shift-click will select the range between the last clicked file and
the currently clicked file.

On Mac OS X the no differences informational message was linewrapped
at the wrong points due to the limited width of the system dialog,
yet the LFs embedded in the message (where I linewrapped it manually)

So this narrows the text down by another 10 columns or so, making it

I'm not a huge fan of putting the left and right mouse actions into

The concept of the Git index is confusing for many users, especially
those who are newer to Git.
Since git-gui is (at least partially) intended to be used by newer
users who don't need the complexity of the index to be put in front
of them early on, we should hide it by making any partially included
file fully included as soon as we identify it. To do this we just
run a quick update_index pass on any file which differs both in the
index and the working directory, as these files have already been
at least partially included by the user.
A new option has been added in the options dialog (gui.partialinclude)
which lets the user enable accessing the index from git-gui. This
just disables the automatic update_index pass on partially included
files.

So although a text field with a flat relief looks like a label on
Windows it doesn't on Mac OS X. The Aqua version of Tk is still
drawing a border around the text field and that makes the diff pane
header look pretty ugly.
Earlier I had made the file name area into a text widget so the user
could highlight parts of it and copy them onto the clipboard; but with
the context menu being present this isn't quite as necessary as the user
can copy the file name to the clipboard using that instead. So although
this is a small loss in functionality for non-Mac OS X systems I think it
is still reasonable.

There's a lot of reasons why the user might need to obtain the
complete (or just part of) path of a file which they are currently

When we shove a large number of files at update-index and they have
very short path names we are likely going to fit a large number of
them into the pipe buffer very early; thereby seeing a huge progress
update followed by lots of waiting between progress updates due to
the latency of update-index.
Using a smaller buffer should help smooth out the progress updates
as we are better able to keep tabs on the update-index process'
progress through our list of paths.

Its a little surprising to see the UI update the icons for files
in random order, due to the fact that the files are updating in
the order they appear within the array (which is based on a hash

the user.

When displaying a diff the Git default of 3 line of context may not be

I'd like to allow the user to have more control over how we format

We can't ask the diff viewer to recompute the diff until after our
update-index child process terminates, as the diff programs need to
be able to read the updated index in order to generate the correct
diff. This is actually why we prevent diffs from being generated
while there is an update lock on the index, which is why we ignored
our own show_diff invocation in the middle of the write_update_index
event handler.
So now we mark a flag if we identify that the file currently in the
diff viewer was also sent to update-index; then later when the
update-index process has terminated we update the diff viewer if
the flag is true.

This is one of those stupid Tcl mistakes that an experienced Tcl
programmer just wouldn't make. We should always use eq and ne to
compare string values (and never == or !=) as when we use ==/!=
Tcl will attempt to convert either side to numeric if one of the
two sides looks like a numeric. This could cause some trouble if
a file named "1" exists and a different file named "1.0" also exists;
their paths are equal according to == but not according to eq.

Because the pull diffstat summary can take as long as the pull itself
some users may just choose to disable the summary and save themselves
an extra few seconds during each pull. This is especially true if the
user really doesn't care about the other files being modified, as due
to their project organizational structure they aren't really responsible
for their content.
This adds an option to the options panel which lets the user disable
the diffstat summary (and thus we pass --no-summary to git-pull) but
there does appear to be a bug in the config saving code where we did
not set the local repo config differently from the global config.

Apparently Tcl is being helpful on Windows during exec and is throwing a
\ in front of every { it finds in the string. I'm guessing they think
the value might be read by another Tcl program? Anyway, Git faithfully
stores the \{ sequence and sends it back that way to Tcl, at which point
Tcl parses the list wrong and starts to break it in the middle of any
element which contains spaces. Therefore a list such as:
-family {Times New Roman}
gets broken up into the pairs:
{-family \{Times}
{New Roman}
which is very incorrect. So now we replace all { and } with "", at which
point Tcl doesn't throw \ in front of the " on the way out to Git yet it
reads it correctly as a list on the way back in.

Display the name of "this" repository rather than the quite ambiguous

they are setting options for.
Also place the options dialog immediately over the git-gui main window

This turned out to take a lot more time than I thought it would take;

We save the complete Tk font specification to the user's ~/.gitconfig

Apparently <Button-3> doesn't work on my single button PowerBook
mouse under Mac OS X. I'm guessing this is because Tk is stealing

supposed to invoke the context menu on this platform.
So now we have a utility procedure is_MacOSX to guess if we are
running on a Mac OS X system, and if so setup Control-Button-1 to
also activate what Button-3 should have. This does mean that I need
to stay away from using Control-Button-1 as a binding in any other

When the user has enabled the Trust File Modification Timestamp option
then we may display a file as being modified yet that file may not have
a difference. When the user clicks on that file we wind up displaying
an empty diff viewer, which makes no sense to the user.
So instead if we get an empty diff and the user has this option enabled
and the file's current state is _M (no change in index but the working
file appears modified) then run a quick update-index on just that file
and remove it from the list of modified files. We also give the user
a quick dialog stating we are removing it, and why.
