Henrik came up with this alternative logo for gitweb and posted
it on his blog:
http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/06/alternative-git-logo-and-favicon
The msysGit port uses his logo within some of their components,
and frankly it looks better here in git-gui for our repository
setup wizard screen. The logo fits quite nicely along the left
edge of our window, leaving significantly more vertical space
for things like the git-fetch console output.
Because the logo changes the layout charateristics of the setup
window I also needed to adjust some of the padding for our widgets
and stop using a fixed width window size. We now let Tk compute
the correct size of the main window whenever the layout changes,
and drop the window into roughly the upper left 1/3 of the desktop
so its not quite centered but is likely to be far enough away from
any sort of task bars/menu bars/docks that the user may have along
any edge of the screen.

If we have added a scrollbar to the console window because one
direction has too much text to fit in the available screen space
we should just keep the scrollbars. Its annoying to watch our
horizontal scrollbar bounce in and out of the window as additional
text is inserted into the widget and the need for the scrollbar
comes and goes.

If the console finishes displaying its output and is "done" but
needs to draw a scrollbar to show the final output messages it
is possible for Tk to delete the window namespace before it does
the text widget updates, which means we are unable to add the
horizontal or vertical scrollbar to the window when the text
widget decides it cannot draw all glyphs on screen.
We need to delay deleting the window namespace until we know
the window is not going to ever be used again. This occurs if
we are done receiving output, the command is successful and the
window is closed, or if the window is open and the user chooses
to close the window after the command has completed.

If the source repository is using an objects/info/alternates file
we need to copy the file to our new repository so that it can access
any objects that won't be copied/hardlinked as they are stored in the
alternate location.
We explicitly resolve all paths in the objects/info/alternates as
relative to the source repository but then convert them into an
absolute path for the new clone. This allows the new clone to
access the exact same locaton as the source repository, even if
relative paths had been used before.
Under Cygwin we assume that Git is Cygwin based and that the paths
in objects/info/alternates must be valid Cygwin UNIX paths, so we
need to run `cygpath --unix` on each line in the alternate list.

If we are doing a "standard" clone by way of hardlinking the
objects (or copying them if hardlinks are not available) the
UI can freeze up for a good few seconds while Tcl scans all
of the object directories. This is espeically noticed on a
Windows system when you are working off network shares and
need to wait for both the NT overheads and the network.
We now show a progress bar as we count the objects and build
our list of things to copy. This keeps the user amused and
also makes sure we run the Tk event loop often enough that
the window can still be dragged around the desktop.

If we failed to create our test hardlink for the first object

If we are started outside of a git repository than it is likely
the user started us from some sort of desktop shortcut icon in
the operating system. In such a case the user is expecting us to
prompt them to locate the git repository they want to work on,
or to help them make a new repository, or to clone one from an
existing location. This is a very simple wizard that offers the
user one of these three choices.
When we clone a repository we always use the name `master` in the
local repository, even if the remote side does not appear to point
to that name. I chose this as a policy decision. Much of the Git
documentation talks about `master` being the default branch in a
repository and that's what git-init does too. If the remote side
doesn't call its default branch `master` most users just don't care,
they just want to use Git the way the documentation describes.
Rather than relying on the git-clone Porcelain that ships with
git we build the new repository ourselves and then obtain content
by git-fetch. This technique simplifies the entire clone process
to roughly: `git init && git fetch && git pull`. Today we use
three passes with git-fetch; the first pass gets us the bulk of
the objects and the branches, the second pass gets us the tags,
and the final pass gets us the current value of HEAD to initialize
the default branch.
If the source repository is on the local disk we try to use a
hardlink to connect the objects into the new clone as this can
be many times faster than copying the objects or packing them and
passing the data through a pipe to index-pack. Unlike git-clone
we stick to pure Tcl [file link -hard] operation thus avoiding the
need to fork a cpio process to setup the hardlinks. If hardlinks
do not appear to be supported (e.g. filesystem doesn't allow them or
we are crossing filesystem boundaries) we use file copying instead.

I'm starting to setup a main window that the user can use to
locate an existing repository, clone an existing repository,

If we are using Cygwin and the git repository is actually a
workdir (by way of git-new-workdir) but this Tcl process is
a native Tcl/Tk and not the Cygwin Tcl/Tk then we are unable
to traverse the .git/info path as it is a Cygwin symlink and
not a standard Windows directory.
So we actually need to start a Cygwin process that can do the
path translation for us and let it test for .git/info/exclude
so we know if we can include that file in our git-ls-files or
not.

I really cannot explain Cygwin's behavior here but if we start
git-gui through Cygwin on a local drive it appears that Cygwin
is leaving $env(PATH) in Unix style, even if it started a native
(non-Cygwin) Tcl/Tk process to run git-gui. Yet starting that
same git-gui and Tcl/Tk combination through Cygwin on a network
share causes it to automatically convert $env(PATH) into Windows
style, which broke our internal "which" implementation.

If we cannot find the git executable in the user's $PATH then
we cannot function correctly. Because we need that to get the
version so we can load our library correctly we cannot rely on
the library function "error_popup" here, as this is all running

not available to us.

Cygwin has been stuck on the 8.4.1 version of Tcl/Tk for quite some
time, even though the main Tcl/Tk distribution is already shipping
an 8.4.15. The problem is Tcl/Tk no longer supports Cygwin so
apparently building the package for Cygwin is now a non-trivial task.
Its actually quite easy to build the native Win32 version of Tcl/Tk
by compiling with the -mno-cygwin flag passed to GCC but this means
we lose all of the "fancy" Cygwin path translations that the Tcl
library was doing for us. This is particularly an issue when we
are trying to start git-gui through the git wrapper as the git
wrapper is passing off a Cygwin path for $0 and Tcl cannot find
the startup script or the library directory.
We now use `cygpath -m -a` to convert the UNIX style paths to Windows
style paths in our startup script if we are building on Cygwin.
Doing so allows either the Cygwin-ized Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 that comes with
Cygwin or a manually built 8.4.15 that is running the pure Win32
implementation to read our script.

Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string
"FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to
the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto
the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here.
Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default
joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call
sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need
a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty
join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function.
Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable
name to use here.

Several users have requested a "make uninstall" target be provided

if git-gui goes to the wrong place during the initial install,
or if they are unhappy with the tool and want to remove it from
their system.
We currently assume that the complete set of files we need to delete
are those defined by our Makefile and current source directory.
This could differ from what the user actually has installed if they
installed one version then attempt to use another to perform the
uninstall. Right now I'm just going to say that is "pilot error".
Users should uninstall git-gui using the same version of source
that they used to make the installation. Perhaps in the future we
could read tclIndex and base our uninstall decisions on its contents.

Simon Sasburg noticed that on X11 if there are more fonts than can
fit in the height of the screen Tk's native tk_optionMenu does not
offer scroll arrows to the user and it is not possible to review
all choices or to select those that are off-screen. On Mac OS X
the tk_optionMenu works properly but is awkward to navigate if the
list is long.
This is a rewrite of our font selection by providing a new modal
dialog that the user can launch from the git-gui Options panel.
The dialog offers the user a scrolling list of fonts in a pane.
An example text shows the user what the font looks like at the size
they have selected. But I have to admit the example pane is less
than ideal. For example in the case of our diff font we really
should show the user an example diff complete with our native diff
syntax coloring.

Currently the Git plumbing is not localized so it does not know how
to output weekday and month names that conform to the user's locale
preferences. This doesn't fit with the rest of git-gui's UI as some
of our dates are formatted in Tcl and some are just read from the Git
plumbing so dates aren't consistently presented.
Since git-for-each-ref is presenting us formatted dates and it offers
no way to change that setting even in git 1.5.3.1 we need to first do
a parse of the text strings it produces, correct for timezones, then
reformat the timestamp using Tcl's formatting routines.

The Tk designers blessed us with the "send" command, which on X11
will allow anyone who can connect to your X server to evaluate any
Tcl code they desire within any running Tk process. This is just
plain nuts. If git-gui wants someone running Tcl code within it
then would ask someone to supply that Tcl code to it; waiting for
someone to drop any random Tcl code into us is not fantastic idea.
By renaming send to the empty name the procedure will be removed
from the global namespace and Tk will stop responding to random Tcl
evaluation requests sent through the X server. Since there is no
facility to filter these requests it is unlikely that we will ever
consider enabling this command.
