Sometimes the user may want to keep their working directory file to be
the same content but they don't want it to be part of the current commit
anymore. In this case we need to undo any changes made to the index
for that file (by reloading the info from HEAD or removing the file
from the index) but leave the working directory alone.

The previous implementation of do_include_selection did not actually
add files in state _O (untracked, not added) into the repository when
they were in the selection and Commit->Include Selected Files was used.
This was due to the file state filtering logic being the same as that
of Commit->Include All Files, which only considers existing files.
Also fixed a minor issue with rejected attempts to amend an initial
commit.

Its not an error that a rescan is required before commit; its just
something we do as a safety feature to try and ensure the user knows
what is going into this commit. So the dialog should use the info
icon (if one is used by the host OS) rather than the error icon.
Its also not "highly likely" that another Git program modified the
repository, its completely the case. There is no reason why the
repository would not match our last scanned state unless another
Git program modified the repository (or someone else did so by hand).
So don't be vague about it, own up to the issue and go on with our
business.

Since git-commit also checks that the user has a GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT

we are running.

I was starting to find it annoying that once you entered the 'Amend Last'

Now we can flip back and forth between a new commit and an amend commit
through a pair of radio buttons on the header of the commit buffer area
and through a pair of radio menu buttons in the Commit menu.

Because we immediately start a rescan operation, but do so slightly
delayed (by 1 ms, to let the UI show before we start forking off
git processes), we can't let the user try to activate any of the
restricted GUI commands before the 1 ms timer expires and we kick
off the rescan.
So now we lock the index before we enter the Tk event loop, ensuring
that it is impossible for the user to inject a conflicting UI event
before our rescan can begin.

When the user selects a number of files they would typically expect
to be able to act on that selection, such as by including those files
into the next commit.
So we now have a menu option under the Commit menu that lets the user
include only the selection, rather than everything. If there is no
selection but there is a file in the diff viewer than we consider that
to be the selection (a selection of 1). Unfortunately we don't disable
this option yet when there's nothing selected to include, but this is
probably not a big deal as there are very few situations where there
are no selected files.

I noticed that we were reshowing the current diff during a commit;
this occurs because we feed every added and modified file through
update-index just before commit. During the update-index process
we reshow the current diff if the current file in the diff pane
was one of those added or modified files we reprocessed. This
just slows down the UI more than is necessary.
So refactoring update_index so that we don't call reshow_diff
from within that code; instead we do it at a higher level.

Apparently I never really tested the logic for making or amending an
initial commit, so although most of the code was here in git-gui it
didn't quite work as it was intended to.
So this is all just bug fixes to make initial commits correctly
generate the list of files going into the initial commit, or to
show a newly added file's diff, and to amend an initial commit.
Because we really want to diff the index against a tree-ish and
there is no such tree-ish on an initial commit we create an empty
tree through git-mktree and diff against that. This unfortunately
creates a dangling tree, which may confuse a new user who uses
git-gui to make a new commit and then immediately afterwards runs
git fsck-objects to see if their object database is corrupt or not.

If we can't locate a .git directory for the given directory we need to

If we are running on Windows we now offer a 'Create Desktop Icon' menu

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Because the pull diffstat summary can take as long as the pull itself

This adds an option to the options panel which lets the user disable

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.
