Shawn O. Pearce	7618e6b1c1	git-gui: Enhance choose_rev to handle hundreds of branches One of my production repositories has hundreds of remote tracking branches. Trying to navigate these through a popup menu is just not possible. The list is far larger than the screen and it does not scroll fast enough to efficiently select a branch name when trying to create a branch or delete a branch. This is major rewrite of the revision chooser mega-widget. We now use a single listbox for all three major types of named refs (heads, tracking branches, tags) and a radio button group to pick which of those namespaces should be shown in the listbox. A filter field is shown to the right allowing the end-user to key in a glob specification to filter the list they are viewing. The filter is always taken as substring, so we assume * both starts and ends the pattern the user wanted but otherwise treat it as a glob pattern. This new picker works out really nicely. What used to take me at least a minute to find and select a branch now takes mere seconds. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>	18 years ago

git-gui: Enhance choose_rev to handle hundreds of branches

One of my production repositories has hundreds of remote tracking
branches.  Trying to navigate these through a popup menu is just
not possible.  The list is far larger than the screen and it does
not scroll fast enough to efficiently select a branch name when
trying to create a branch or delete a branch.

This is major rewrite of the revision chooser mega-widget.  We
now use a single listbox for all three major types of named refs
(heads, tracking branches, tags) and a radio button group to pick
which of those namespaces should be shown in the listbox.  A filter
field is shown to the right allowing the end-user to key in a glob
specification to filter the list they are viewing.  The filter is
always taken as substring, so we assume * both starts and ends the
pattern the user wanted but otherwise treat it as a glob pattern.

This new picker works out really nicely.  What used to take me at
least a minute to find and select a branch now takes mere seconds.

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.
