2006-11-13git-gui: Use a smaller pipe buffer for update-index.Shawn O. Pearce
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 them into the pipe buffer very early; thereby seeing a huge progress update followed by lots of waiting between progress updates due to the latency of update-index. Using a smaller buffer should help smooth out the progress updates as we are better able to keep tabs on the update-index process' progress through our list of paths. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Sort the list of paths being updated in the index.Shawn O. Pearce
Its a little surprising to see the UI update the icons for files in random order, due to the fact that the files are updating in the order they appear within the array (which is based on a hash function and not order). So sort the list of files before we send any to update-index so the order of operation is means something to the user. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Allow the user to control the number of context lines in a diff.Shawn O. Pearce
When displaying a diff the Git default of 3 line of context may not be enough for a user to see what has actually changed. Consequently we set our own program default to 5 lines of context and then allow the user to adjust this on a per-repository and global level through our options dialog. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Cleanup diff construction code to prepare for more options.Shawn O. Pearce
I'd like to allow the user to have more control over how we format the diff in the diff viewer; to that end we need to add additional options to the diff-index command line as we construct the command for execution. So cleanup the command handling code now to use lappend so we can come back and add in our additional options. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Reshow diff if we sent the file to update-index.Shawn O. Pearce
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.

2006-11-13git-gui: Always use eq/ne for string comparsions.Shawn O. Pearce
This is one of those stupid Tcl mistakes that an experienced Tcl programmer just wouldn't make. We should always use eq and ne to compare string values (and never == or !=) as when we use ==/!= Tcl will attempt to convert either side to numeric if one of the two sides looks like a numeric. This could cause some trouble if a file named "1" exists and a different file named "1.0" also exists; their paths are equal according to == but not according to eq. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Added post-commit invocation after the commit is done.Shawn O. Pearce
Since git-commit.sh invokes hooks/post-commit after running git rerere we should do the same if its available and executable. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Remove the commit_active global variable.Shawn O. Pearce
We were originally trying to use $commit_active to tell us if there was a commit currently in progress, just so we didn't attempt to start a second (parallel) one by mistake. But really the index lock handles this for us as it won't let us lock the index if it is already locked for update. So this can't happen. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Run the pre-commit hook in the background.Shawn O. Pearce
I started to notice on Windows that commits took a lot longer to get going than on my Mac OS X system. The real reason is the repositories that I'm testing with on Windows all enabled the standard pre-commit hook while my test repository on Mac OS X doesn't have it executable (so its not running). So the Windows repositories are spending this lag time running that hook. Now we run the pre-commit hook in the background, allowing the UI to update and tell the user we are busy doing things.

2006-11-13git-gui: Allow the user to disable diff stat summary during pull.Shawn O. Pearce
Because the pull diffstat summary can take as long as the pull itself some users may just choose to disable the summary and save themselves an extra few seconds during each pull. This is especially true if the user really doesn't care about the other files being modified, as due to their project organizational structure they aren't really responsible for their content. This adds an option to the options panel which lets the user disable the diffstat summary (and thus we pass --no-summary to git-pull) but there does appear to be a bug in the config saving code where we did not set the local repo config differently from the global config. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Don't load the global options unless necessary.Shawn O. Pearce
Since git-repo-config will supply us a union of both the global and the local repository configuration data when we invoke it during startup there is no reason to go get the global configuration with an extra call to repo-config unless the user is trying to view & edit all options in the options dialog. Since skipping this extra repo-config invocation save us a little bit of time its nice to be able to avoid it when we are invoked as git-citool and won't be running very long. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Hide non-commit related commands when invoked as git-citool.Shawn O. Pearce
If the user is invoking us as git-citool then they want to perform a single commit and exit quickly. Since we are about to be a very short lived process we should do what we can to avoid spending CPU time setting up menus which the user will never use, like the fetch/push/pull menus. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Correct bugs in font config handling.Shawn O. Pearce
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. I also found and fixed a bug in the way we restored the fonts when the user presses Restore Defaults in the options dialog. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-13git-gui: Use 'after 1' to post UI rather than tkwait.Shawn O. Pearce
The tkwait visibility command and Windows doesn't seem to realize the window is visible, consequently we are never finishing our initialization by calling update_status. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Added Options... menu item to end of diff context menu.Shawn O. Pearce
Since the font name can only be chosen from within the options dialog giving the user fast access to this dialog from within a context menu that already talks about increasing and decreasing the font size may help users to locate the font name setting as well. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Minor options dialog UI cleanups.Shawn O. Pearce
Display the name of "this" repository rather than the quite ambiguous string "This". The idea is that seeing the name of the directory the repository is stored in should help jog the user's memory about what they are setting options for. Also place the options dialog immediately over the git-gui main window when it gets opened. This way the user isn't scrolling very far away to gain access to the window. At least on my Mac OS X system not doing this makes the options dialog open rather far away, thus requiring lots of mouse activity to reach it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Supply progress feedback when running update-index.Shawn O. Pearce
The git-update-index process can take a while to process a large number of files; for example my laptop would probably need almost an hour to chug through 20,000 modified files. In these incredibly large cases the user should be given at least some feedback to let them know the application is still working on their behalf, even if it won't them do anything else (as the index is locked). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Allow the user to manipulate the fonts from the options panel.Shawn O. Pearce
This turned out to take a lot more time than I thought it would take; but now users can edit the main UI font and the diff/fixed with font by changing both the family name and/or the point size of the text. We save the complete Tk font specification to the user's ~/.gitconfig file upon saving options. This is probably more verbose than it needs to be as there are many useless options recorded (e.g. -overstrike 0) that a user won't really want to use in this application. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Refactor options menu into an options dialog.Shawn O. Pearce
I decided that the options menu was going to turn into a mess after a while as I start to add additional features to git-gui. The better approach would be to create a dialog that lets the user edit the options, including their --global options. We also wisely let the user press Cancel (or destroy the window) to abort any sort of option editing session, without the options being changed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Use arrow cursor rather than left_ptr.Shawn O. Pearce
Arrow is available on all Tk platforms and is mapped to the native system cursor on Windows and Mac OS X. Consequently its the better cursor choice as it should match whatever the system has configured for the standard pointing thingy. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Rename quitting global to is_quitting.Shawn O. Pearce
This is a boolean value; naming it as such is a good thing. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Improve right click context menu binding on all platforms.Shawn O. Pearce
Apparently <Button-3> doesn't work on my single button PowerBook mouse under Mac OS X. I'm guessing this is because Tk is stealing every event and doesn't realize that Control-Button-1 is actually supposed to invoke the context menu on this platform. So now we have a utility procedure is_MacOSX to guess if we are running on a Mac OS X system, and if so setup Control-Button-1 to also activate what Button-3 should have. This does mean that I need to stay away from using Control-Button-1 as a binding in any other context. Of course we should use $M1B for that, which is M1 (aka Command) on Mac OS X so that shouldn't prove to be a problem. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Make use of the Tk font system rather than faking it.Shawn O. Pearce
The native Tk font system is actually quite powerful and has the nice property that modifications to a named font are immediately reflected throughout all widgets currently displayed. This really saves us from needing to write all of the reconfigure code as part of our font display. I also fixed the way we detect and apply the system font on the main UI widgets as although it worked on a Windows 2000 system it does not work at all on my Mac OS 10.4 system. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Refresh a file if it has an empty diff.Shawn O. Pearce
When the user has enabled the Trust File Modification Timestamp option then we may display a file as being modified yet that file may not have a difference. When the user clicks on that file we wind up displaying an empty diff viewer, which makes no sense to the user. So instead if we get an empty diff and the user has this option enabled and the file's current state is _M (no change in index but the working file appears modified) then run a quick update-index on just that file and remove it from the list of modified files. We also give the user a quick dialog stating we are removing it, and why. Usually I don't run into this situation when I have the Trust File Modification Timestamp option enabled, so its not that annoying to have a dialog pop open to remind me why there are no differences. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Allow the user to change the diff viewer font size.Shawn O. Pearce
Because the diff area is one of the most important areas to be able to read users should be able to increase or decrease the size of the font used within that area. Currently we save that back to the global configuration, even if it may have originated from the local repository configuration. This is probably going to be considered to be a bug by at least one user who wants some sort of different font within a given repository, but I'm just going to ignore the problem for now. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Honor system font and let user configure fonts.Shawn O. Pearce
Rather than hardcoding our fonts to something that I thought was reasonable, guess font_ui off the font used by the system in the menu bar. This way the application conforms by default to whatever the user's desktop is setup to. We also now let the user supply font configuration through their repository configuration as gui.fontui (the overall UI font) and gui.fontdiff (the font used for the diff viewer).

2006-11-12git-gui: Teach sign off to be more intelligent.Shawn O. Pearce
When we sign off on a commit we want to add a blank line between whatever is in the commit buffer and the new Signed-off-by line, unless there already is a Signed-off-by (or Acked-by) tag at the end of the buffer already. This change makes us do the right thing more often. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Fix mouse cursor behavior when in widgets.Shawn O. Pearce
The mouse cursor (at least on Windows) seemed to be picking up the cursor from the sash controls and then never resetting itself back to the standard text cursor (the I-beam) when it was over a text area that the user can edit (like the commit buffer) or over a text area the user can copy from (like the diff viewer). So now we always set the cursor to left_ptr (which according to the Tk documentation should be available everywhere) and only for the two text areas which we use to list file names, as the user clicks in these but is not permitted to select text. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Added context menus for consoles and commit message buffer.Shawn O. Pearce
This change adds a context menu to the commit message buffer providing fast access to the contents of the Edit menu, and to the console text buffer, providing easy ways to copy selections of the buffer or the entire buffer. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Misc. bug fixes for mouse click crashes.Shawn O. Pearce
Make sure the file_lists array has both elements set at all times, otherwise we get Tcl errors during mouse clicks in the file list areas due to the list not being defined. Also added M1-A as a keyboard binding within the console window text area. This lets users select all text easily and copy it to the clipboard. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Misc. formatting cleanups.Shawn O. Pearce
A number of lines were line wrapping in a rather ugly way when opened in vim with line numbers enabled, so I split most of these lines over two lines using a sensible wrapping policy. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Simplified format of geometry configuration.Shawn O. Pearce
The gui.geometry config value was starting to contain the odd string \\{ as part of its value due to the way the Tcl lists were being supplied to git repo-config. Now we write out only three values: the overall window geomtry, the y position of the horizontal sash, and the x position of the vertical sash. All other data is skipped, which makes the gui.geometry value simpler. While debugging this I noticed that the save_my_config procedure was being invoked multiple times during exit due to do_quit getting invoked over and over again. So now we set a flag in do_quit and don't perform any of our "at exit" type of logic if we've already been through the do_quit procedure once. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Cleaned up error message formatting.Shawn O. Pearce
Added an extra blank line between the first line of each error message and the rest of the message, as usually the rest of the message is coming from Tcl or is the stderr output of a git command we tried to invoke. This makes it easier to read the output (if any). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Use native tk_messageBox for errors.Shawn O. Pearce
Rather than drawing our own toplevel for error messages we really should just use the the native tk_messageBox command to display any error messages. Major benefits for doing so are: - automatically centers over main window; - less code required on our part in git-gui; - includes a nifty error icon on most systems; - better fits the look-and-feel of the operating system. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Rename difffont/mainfont variables.Shawn O. Pearce
I found difffont to be a very awkward varible name, due to the use of three f's in a row. So use easier to read variable names. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Use catch rather than array names to check file.Shawn O. Pearce
When we reshow the current diff file it can be faster to just fetch the value from the file_states array than it is to ask for all paths whose name exactly matches the one we want to show. This is because [array names -exact] is O(n) in the number of files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Efficiently update the UI after committing.Shawn O. Pearce
When we commit we know that whatever was in the index went as part of the commit. Since we generally assume that the user does not update the index except through our user interface we can be reasonably certain that any file which was marked as A/M/D in the index will have had that A/M/D state changed to an _ (not different) by the commit. We can use this knowledge to update the user interface post commit by simply updating the index part of the file state of all files whose index state was A/M/D to _ and then removing any file memory any which wound up with a final state of __ (not different anywhere). Finally we redraw the file lists and update the diff view. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Correctly handle files containing LF in their name.Shawn O. Pearce
If we are given a file whose path name contains an LF (\n) we now escape it by inserting the common escape string \n instead of the LF character whenever we display the name in the UI. This way the text fields don't start to span multiple lines just to display one file, and it keeps the line numbers correct within the file lists. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Always indicate the file in the diff viewer.Shawn O. Pearce
When we did a rescan to update the file lists we lost the tag which indicated which file was currently in the diff viewer. This occurs because we delete every line from the two file list boxes (thus removing the tag) and then redisplay the diff in the diff viewer but then fail to restore the tag in the file list. Now we restore that tag by searching for the file in the file lists and adding the tag back when the diff viewer displays something. We also no longer obtain the file path directly from the file list text box. Instead we now keep two Tcl lists, one for each file list, holding the file names in sorted order. These lists can be searched with the native [lsearch -sorted] operation (which should be faster than our crude bsearch) or can be quickly accessed by index to return the file path. This should help make things safer should we ever be given a file name which contains an LF within it (as that would span two lines in the file list, not one). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Clear undo/redo stack when loading a message file from disk.Shawn O. Pearce
If we load a message file (e.g. MERGE_MSG) or we have just finished making a commit and are clearing out the commit buffer we should also clear out the undo/redo stack associated with that buffer. The prior undo/redo stack has no associated with the new content and therefore is not useful to the user. Also modified the sign-off operation to perform the entire update in a single undo/redo operation, allowing the user to undo the signoff in case they didn't actually want to do that. I also noticed what may be a crash on Windows related to the up and down arrow keys navigating within the diff viewer. Since I got back no stack trace (just an application exit with a loss of the commit message) I suspect that the binding to scroll the text widget crashed with an error and the wish process just terminated. So now we catch (and ignore) any sort of error related to the arrow keys in the diff viewer. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Created edit menu and basic editing bindings.Shawn O. Pearce
Users have come to expect basic editing features within their applications, such as cut/copy/paste/undo/redo/select-all. I found these features to be lacking in git-gui so now we have them. I also added basic keyboard bindings for the diff viewing area so that the arrow keys move around single units (lines or columns) and the M1-X/C keys will copy the selected text and the M1-A key will select the entire diff. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-12git-gui: Change accelerator for "Include All" to M1-I.Shawn O. Pearce
Now that we call the update-index all files action "Include All" it makes more sense to make this M1-I (so Control-I or Command-I depending on platform) than M1-U, which stood for update but is somewhat confusing to users. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-09git-gui: Save window geometry to .git/config during exit.Shawn O. Pearce
I started to find it very annoying that my test application kept opening at the wrong location on my desktop, so now we save the basic window geometry and sash positions into the config file as gui.geometry. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-09git-gui: Cache the GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT value on first sign-off.Shawn O. Pearce
Caching the Signed-Off-By line isn't very important (as its not performance critical). The major improvement here is that we now report an error to the user if we can't obtain their name from git-var. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-09git-gui: Show only the abbreviated SHA1 after committing.Shawn O. Pearce
There's really no great reason to show the entire commit object id within the GUI, especially if the user is unable to copy and paste it into another interface such as gitk or a terminal window. So we'll just show them the first 8 digits and hope that is unique within their repository. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-09git-gui: Changed term 'check-in' to 'include'.Shawn O. Pearce
At least one user was confused by the term 'check-in'; he thought that clicking that button would commit just that one file, but he wanted to include all modified files into his next commit. Since git doesn't really have a check-in concept this really was poor language to use. Git does have an update-index concept but that is a little too low level to show to the user. So instead we now talk about including files in a commit. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-08git-gui: Bug fix for bad variable reference in display_file.Shawn O. Pearce
When a file jumps between the file lists due to its state changing we crashed thanks to a stale variable reference within the procedure as we tried to setup the new icon. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-08git-gui: Don't let the user pull into an uncommitted working directory.Shawn O. Pearce
If there are modified files present in the working directory then we should not let the user perform a pull as it may fail due to the modified files being uncommitted but needing to be merged at the file level. Yes there are many cases where a merge will complete successfully even though there are modified or untracked files sitting in the working directory. But users generally shouldn't be attempting merges like that, and if they are they probably are advanced enough to just use the command line and bypass this little safety check. We also no longer run a rescan after a successful pull has completed. Usually this is unnecessary as a successful pull won't leave modified files laying around. Instead we just update our HEAD and PARENT values with the new commit, if there is one. Unfortunately this does let the user get into an insane state as there are bugs in core Git's git-pull and git-merge programs where the exit status is sent back as a 0 rather than non-0 when a failure is detected. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2006-11-08git-gui: Disable pull menu items when the index is locked.Shawn O. Pearce
If we have the index locked then no pull command is allowed to proceed (as it would fail to get the index lock itself). So disable the pull menu items when we are doing any index based operations. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
