79c50bf git-gui: Show original filename in blame tooltip If we have two commits right next to each other in the final file and they were kept as different blocks in the leftmost column then its probably because the original filename was different. To help the user know where they are digging into when they click on that link we now show the original file in the tooltip, but to save space we do so only if the original file is not the same as the file we are currently viewing.

669fbc3 git-gui: Combine blame groups only if commit and filename match Consecutive chunks of a file could come from the same commit, but have different original file names. Previously we would have put them into a single group, but then the hyperlink would jump to only one of the files, and the other would not be accessible. Now we can get to the other file too.

22c6769 git-gui: Allow digging through history in blame viewer gitweb has long had a feature where the user can click on any commit the blame display and go visit that commit's information page. From the user could go get the blame display for the file they are tracking, and try to digg through the history of any part of the code they are interested in seeing. We now offer somewhat similiar functionality in git-gui. The 4 digit commit abreviation in the first column of our blame view is now offered as a hyperlink if the commit isn't the one we are now viewing the blame output for (as there is no point in linking back to yourself). Clicking on that link will stop the current blame engine (if still running), push the new target commit onto the history stack, and restart the blame viewer at that commit, using the "original file name" as supplied by git-blame for that chunk of the output. Users can navigate back to a version they had been viewing before by way of a back button, which offers the prior commits in a popup menu displayed right below the back button. I'm always showing the menu here as the cost of switching between views is very high; you don't want to jump to a commit you are not interested in looking at again. During switches we throw away all data except the cached commit data, as that is relatively small compared to most source files and their annotation marks. Unfortunately throwing this per-file data away in Tcl seems to take some time; I probably should move the line indexed arrays to proper lists and use [lindex] rather than the array lookup (usually lists are faster). We now start the git-blame process using "nice", so that its priority will drop hopefully below our own. If I don't do this the blame engine gets a lot of CPU under Windows 2000 and the git-gui user interface is almost non-responsive, even though Tcl is just sitting there waiting for events.

982cf98 git-gui: Display a progress bar during blame annotation gathering Computing the blame records for a large file with a long project history can take git a while to run; traditionally we have shown a little meter in the status area of our blame viewer that lets the user know how many lines have been finished, and how far we are through the process. Usually such progress indicators are drawn with a little progress bar in the window, where the bar shows how much has been completed and hides itself when the process is complete. I'm using a very simple hack to do that: draw a canvas with a filled rectangle. Of course the time remaining has absolutely no relationship to the progress meter. It could take very little time for git-blame to get the first 90% of the file, and then it could take many times that to get the remaining 10%. So the progress meter doesn't really have any sort of assurances that it relates to the true progress of the work. But in practice on some ugly history it does seem to hold a reasonable indicator to the completion status. Besides, its amusing to watch and that keeps the user from realizing git is being somewhat slow. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 June 2007, 05:26:47 UTC
d0b741d git-gui: Allow the user to control the blame/commit split point At one point I tried to present the blame viewer to an audience of people on a 640 by 480 pixel LCD projector. This did not work at all as the top area (the file data) was taking up all of the screen realestate and the split point was not adjustable by the user. In general locking the user into a specific ratio of display is just not user friendly. So we now place a split pane control into the middle of our blame window, so the user can adjust it to their current needs. If the window increases (or decreases) in height we assign the difference to the file data area, as that is generally the area of the window that users are trying to see more of when they grow the window. Unfortunately there appears to be a bug in the "pack" layout manager in Tcl/Tk 8.4.1. The status bar and the lower commit pane was being squashed if the window decreased in height. I think the pack manager was just not decreasing the size of the panedwindow slave properly if the main window shrank. Switching to the "grid" layout manager fixes the problem, but is slightly uglier setup code. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 June 2007, 05:26:46 UTC
223475a git-gui: Show author initials in blame groups Frequently when I'm looking at blocks of code in the blame viewer I want to know who is the culprit, or who I should be praising for a job well done. The tooltips nicely show this if I mouse over a block, but it doesn't work to get this detail at a glance. Since we don't use the leftmost commit column for anything after the first line within a commit group I'm now tossing the author's initials into that field, right justified. It is quite clearly not a SHA-1 number as we always show the SHA-1 in lowercase, while we explicitly select only the uppercase characters from an author's name field, and only those that are following whitespace. I'm using initials here over anything else as they are quite commonly unique within small development teams. The leading part of the email address field was out for some of the teams I work with, as there the email addresses are all of the form "Givenname.Surname@initech.com". That will never fit into the 4 characters available. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 June 2007, 05:26:46 UTC

We also now use the abbreviation "work" for the uncommitted stuff in your working directory, rather than "0000". This looks nicer to the eyes and explains pretty quickly what is going on. There was also a minor bug in the commit abbreviation column for the last line of the file. This is now also fixed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 June 2007, 05:26:44 UTC
f96cd7b git-gui: Improve the coloring in blame viewer The git-gui blame viewer has always been ugly as s**t. Linus Torvalds suggested the coloring scheme I'm using here, which is two different shades of grey for the background colors, and black text on a pale green background for the currently selected/focused commit. The difference is a massive improvement. The interface no longer will cause seizures in people who are prone to that sort of thing. It no longer uses a very offensive hot pink. The green being current actually makes sense. And not having the background of the other non-current lines change when you change the current commit is really a big deal. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

ea75ee3 git-gui: Guess our share/git-gui/lib path at runtime if possible Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the packager wanted them to be installed into. Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib. This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix. If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and we get it from $argv0 rather than embedding it into the script itself. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This breaks people who may have a working build configuration today and suddenly upgrade to the latest git release. The tclIndex is required for git-gui to load its associated lib files, but using the Tcl auto_load procedure to source only the files we need is a performance optimization. We can emulate the auto_load by just source'ing every file in that directory, assuming we source class.tcl first to initialize our crude class system. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Small nit, but probably not a huge deal as the only data being inlined here is Tk paths. Some of the lines in the parser code were longer than 80 characters wide, and they actually were all the same value on the end part of the line. Rather than keeping the mess copied-and-pasted around we can set the last argument into a local variable and reuse it many times. The commit display code was also rather difficult to read on an 80 character wide terminal, so I'm moving it all into a double quoted string that is easier to read. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This is very common, so its a nice option. Our blame subcommand now tries to perform the same assumptions as the command line git-blame; both the revision and the file are optional. We assume the argument is a filename if the file exists in the working directory, otherwise we assume the argument is a revision name.

1f07c4e git-gui: Define a simple class/method system As most of the git-gui interface is based upon "meta-widgets" that need to carry around a good deal of state (e.g. console windows, browser windows, blame viewer) we have a good deal of messy code that tries to store this meta-widget state in global arrays, where keys into the array are formed from a union of a unique "object instance id" and the field name. This is a simple class system for Tcl that allows us to hide much of that mess by making Tcl do what it does best; process strings to manipulate its own code during startup. Each object instance is placed into its own namespace. The namespace is created when the object instance is created and the namespace is destroyed when the object instance is removed from the system. Within that namespace we place variables for each field within the class; these variables can themselves be scalar values or full-blown Tcl arrays. A simple class might be defined as: class map { field data field size 0 constructor {} { return $this } method set {name value} { set data($name) $value incr size } method size {} { return $size } ifdeleted { return 0 } } All fields must be declared before any constructors or methods. This allows our class to generate a list of the fields so it can properly alter the definition of the constructor and method bodies prior to passing them off to Tcl for definition with proc. A field may optionally be given a default/initial value. This can only be done for non-array type fields. Constructors are given full access to all fields of the class, so they can initialize the data values. The default values of fields (if any) are set before the constructor runs, and the implicit local variable $this is initialized to the instance identifier. Methods are given access to fields they actually use in their body. Every method has an implicit "this" argument inserted as its first parameter; callers of methods must be sure they supply this value. Some basic optimization tricks are performed (but not much). We try to only upvar (locally bind) fields that are accessed within a method, but we err on the side of caution and may upvar more than we need to. If a variable is accessed only once within a method and that access is by $foo (read) we avoid the upvar and instead use [set foo] to obtain the value. This is slightly faster as Tcl does not need to lookup the variable twice. We also offer some small syntatic sugar for interacting with Tk and the fileevent callback system in Tcl. If a field (say "foo") is used as "@foo" we insert instead the true global variable name of that variable into the body of the constructor or method. This allows easy binding to Tk textvariable options, e.g.: label $w.title -textvariable @title Proper namespace callbacks can also be setup with the special cb proc that is defined in each namespace. [cb _foo a] will invoke the method _foo in the current namespace, passing it $this as the first (implied) parameter and a as the second parameter. This makes it very simple to connect an object instance to a -command option for a Tk widget or to a fileevent readable or writable for a file channel. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Unfortunately I'm unable to use three listboxes in a row, as Tcl freaks out and refuses to let me have a selection in more than one of them at any given point in time.

349f92e git-gui: Show all possible branches for merge Johannes Sixt pointed out that git-gui was randomly selecting which branch (or tag!) it will show in the merge dialog when more than one ref points at the same commit. This can be a problem for the user if they want to merge a branch, but the ref that git-gui selected to display was actually a tag that points at the commit at the tip of that branch. Since the user is looking for the branch, and not the tag, its confusing to not find it, and worse, merging the tag causes git-merge to generate a different message than if the branch was selected. While I am in here and am messing around I have changed the for-each-ref usage to take advantage of its --tcl formatting, and to fetch the subject line of the commit (or tag) we are looking at. This way we could present the subject line in the UI to the user, given them an even better chance to select the correct branch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

a35d65d git-gui: Move console procs into their own namespace To help modularize git-gui better I'm isolating the code and variables required to handle our little console windows into their own namespace.

f522c9b git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanity I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code. Since most of the program is organized into different units of functionality and not all users will need all units immediately on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us. This should help not only to better organize the source, but it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl parser does not need to read as much script before it can show the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half of git-gui now. Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be $(gitexecdir)/../share. We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile, as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building from source. I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 08 May 2007, 03:35:48 UTC
c6a5e40 git-gui: Track our own embedded values and rebuild when they change Like core-Git we now track the values that we embed into our shell script wrapper, and we "recompile" that wrapper if they are changed. This concept was lifted from git.git's Makefile, where a similar thing was done by Eygene Ryabinkin. Too bad it wasn't just done here in git-gui from the beginning, as the git.git Makefile support for GIT-GUI-VARS was really just because git-gui doesn't do it on its own. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

dc6716b git-gui: Refactor to use our git proc more often Whenever we want to execute a git subcommand from the plumbing layer (and on rare occasion, the more porcelain-ish layer) we tend to use our proc wrapper, just to make the code slightly cleaner at the call sites.

f20db5f git-gui: Correctly handle UTF-8 encoded commit messages Uwe Kleine-König discovered git-gui mangled his surname and did not send the proper UTF-8 byte sequence to git-commit-tree when his name appeared in the commit message (e.g. Signed-Off-By line). Turns out this was related to other trouble that I had in the past with trying to use "fconfigure $fd -encoding $enc" to select the stream encoding and let Tcl's IO engine do all of the encoding work for us. Other parts of git-gui were just always setting the file channels to "-encoding binary" and then performing the encoding work themselves using "encoding convertfrom" and "convertto", as that was the only way I could make UTF-8 filenames work properly. I found this same bug in the amend code path, and in the blame display. So its fixed in all three locations (commit creation, reloading message for amend, viewing message in blame).

756d846 git-gui: Allow 'git gui version' outside of a repository I got a little surprise one day when I tried to run 'git gui version' outside of a Git repository to determine what version of git-gui was installed on that system. Turns out we were doing the repository check long before we got around to command line argument handling. We now look to see if the only argument we have been given is 'version' or '--version', and if so, print out the version and exit immediately; long before we consider looking at the Git version or working directory.

51bd9d7 git-gui: Don't create empty (same tree as parent) commits. Mark Levedahl noticed that git-gui will let you create an empty normal (non-merge) commit if the file state in the index is out of whack. The case Mark was looking at was with the new autoCRLF feature in git enabled and is actually somewhat difficult to create. I found a different way to create an empty commit: turn on the Trust File Modifications flag, touch a file, rescan, then move the file into the "Changes To Be Committed" list without looking at the file's diff. This makes git-gui think there are files staged for commit, yet the update-index call did nothing other than refresh the stat information for the affected file. In this case git-gui allowed the user to make a commit that did not actually change anything in the repository. Creating empty commits is usually a pointless operation; rarely does it record useful information. More often than not an empty commit is actually an indication that the user did not properly update their index prior to commit. We should help the user out by detecting this possible mistake and guiding them through it, rather than blindly recording it. After we get the new tree name back from write-tree we compare it to the parent commit's tree; if they are the same string and this is a normal (non-merge, non-amend) commit then something fishy is going on. The user is making an empty commit, but they most likely don't want to do that. We now pop an informational dialog and start a rescan, aborting the commit. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

92446ab Don't modify CREDITS-FILE if it hasn't changed. We should always avoid rewriting a built file during `make install` if nothing has changed since `make all`. This is to help support the typical installation process of compiling a package as yourself, then installing it as root.

This was caused by the do_save_config procedure invoking reshow_diff incase the number of context lines was modified by the user. Because we bypassed main window UI setup to enter blame mode we did not set many of the globals which were accessed by reshow_diff, and reading unset variables is an error in Tcl. Aside from moving the globals to be set earlier, I also modified reshow_diff to not invoke clear_diff if there is no path currently in the diff viewer.

So our merge dialog now requests all refs/heads, refs/remotes and refs/tags named refs and attempts to match them against the commits not in HEAD.
