Git progress bars from tools like git-push and git-fetch use CR
to skip back to the start of the current line and redraw it with
an updated progress. We were doing this in our Tk widget but had
failed to skip the CR, which Tk doesn't draw well.

Post Git 1.5.3 a new style progress bar has been introduced that
uses only one line rather than two. The formatting of the completed
and total section is also slightly different so we must adjust our
regexp to match. Unfortunately both styles are in active use by
different versions of Git so we need to look for both.

Apparently native Tcl/Tk on Windows is using \ as the return value
from [file separator] but [file normalize] on that same system is
using / rather than \ to represent a directory separator. I really
think that is nuts, but its what is happening.
So we can actually just hardcode our separator to / as all systems
we support (Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX) use /.

If the user tries to clone a Git repository that is actually a
workdir of another repository (by way of contrib git-new-workdir)
then the contents of .git is a series of Windows .lnk files which
Tcl can't read if this is a native Tcl process. To read the real
objects directory we need to resolve the link to that location.

On Windows its better to use a shortcut (.lnk file) over a batch
script (.bat) as we can specify the icon file for the .lnk and
thus have these git specific objects appear on the desktop with
that git specific icon file.
Unfortunately the authors of Tcl did not bless us with the APIs
needed to create shortcuts from within Tcl. But Microsoft did
give us Windows Scripting Host which allows us to execute some
JavaScript that calls some sort of COM object that can operate
on a .lnk file.
We now build both Cygwin and non-Cygwin "desktop icons" as proper
Windows .lnk files, using the "Start in" property of these files
to indicate the working directory of the repository the user wants
to launch.

If git-gui is started outside a work tree the repository chooser

any list entry directly opens the repository.
The list of recently opened repositories is stored in the config
as the multi-valued option gui.recentrepo. If the list grows beyond
10 entries it will be truncated by removing one of the older entries.
Only repositories that are opened through the repository chooser
will get added to the recent list. Repositories opened from the
shell will not yet be added to the recent list, as users are likely
to have a way to easily return to the same directory via their shell.

Sometimes the Fetch menu looks really odd, such as if you are in a
repository that has no remotes configured when you start git-gui.
Here we didn't have any items to add to the Fetch menu so it was a
tad confusing for the end-user to see an empty menu on the menu bar.
We now place all of the commands related to fetching and pushing of
changes into a single "Remote" menu. This way we have a better class
of bucket that we can drop additional remote related items into such
as doing a remote merge or editing the remote configuration specs.
The shortcuts to execute fetch/remote prune/push on existing remote
specifications are now actually submenus listing the remotes by name.

If we are updating the index to stage or unstage changes or reverting
files in the working directory we can use the progress handling parts
of our status bar to perform this display work, reducing the amount of
code duplication we have in the index handling module.
Unfortunately the status bar is still a strict approximation as it is
unable to know when git-update-index has processed the data we fed to

up in the OS, not of the actual work done. Still, it tells the user we
are working and that has some value.

The setup wizard looks better if we layout the progress bar as
two lines: the first line holds the message text and our text
formatting of the progress while the second line holds the bar
itself. Both extend the full width of the window and we try to
pad out the message text so the window doesn't expand when the
completed progress number jumps to the next order of magnitude.
This change required updating the progress meter format string
to allow the application to supply the precision. So we also
are updating all of the translations at once to use the newer
formatting string.

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.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
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 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.

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.

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

Since git-for-each-ref is presenting us formatted dates and it offers

Earlier when I rewrote the merge implementation for git-gui I broke

the user had merged. This was because I got paranoid and passed off
the full SHA-1 to git-merge, instead of giving it the reference name
the user saw in the merge dialog.
I'd still like to resolve the SHA-1 upfront in git-gui and always use
that value throughout the merge, but I can't do that until we have a
full implementation of git-merge written in Tcl. Until then its more
important that the conflict markers be useful to the end-user, so we
