Shawn O. Pearce	46a2df3ac2	git-gui: Increase the default height of the revision picker Showing only five lines of heads/tags is not very useful to a user when they have about 10 branches that match the filter expression. The list is just too short to really be able to read easily, at least not without scrolling up and down. Expanding the list out to 10 really makes the revision picker easier to read and access, as you can read the matching branches much more quickly. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Shawn O. Pearce	827c71199d	git-gui: Allow double-click in checkout dialog to start checkout If the user double clicks a branch in the checkout dialog then they probably want to start the checkout process on that branch. I found myself doing this without realizing it, and of course it did nothing as there was no action bound to the listbox's Double-Button-1 event handler. Since I did it without thinking, others will probably also try, and expect the same behavior. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>	18 years ago
Shawn O. Pearce	84d3d7b84c	git-gui: Default selection to first matching ref If we have specifications listed in our revision picker mega-widget then we should default the selection within that widget to the first ref available. This way the user does not need to use the spacebar to activate the selection of a ref within the box; instead they can navigate up/down with the arrow keys and be done with it.

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	7cf0442667	git-gui: Option to default new branches to match tracking branches In some workflows users will want to almost always just create a new local branch that matches a remote branch. In this type of workflow it is handy to have the new branch dialog default to "Match Tracking Branch" and "Starting Revision"-Tracking Branch", with the focus in the branch filter field. This can save users working on this type of workflow at least two mouse clicks every time they create a new local branch or switch to one with a fast-forward. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

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
Shawn O. Pearce	dd87efc8cc	git-gui: Allow users to match remote branch names locally Some workflows have users create a local branch that matches a remote branch they have fetched from another repository. If the user wants to push their changes back to that remote repository then they probably want to use the same branch name locally so that git-gui's push dialog can setup the push refspec automatically. To prevent typos with the local branch name we now offer an option to use the remote tracking branch name as the new local branch name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Shawn O. Pearce	79a060e477	git-gui: Maintain remote and source ref for tracking branches In the next change I want to let the user create their local branch name to match the remote branch name, so that the existing push dialog can push the branch back up to the remote repository without needing to do any sort of remapping. To do that we need to know exactly what branch name the remote system is using. So all_tracking_branches returns a list of specifications, where each specification is itself a list of: - local ref name (destination we fetch into) - remote name (repository we fetch from) - remote ref name (source ref we fetch from) Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

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.
