2007-09-14git-gui: Paper bag fix missing translated stringsShawn O. Pearce
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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-09-04git-gui: Fix detaching current branch during checkoutShawn O. Pearce
If the user tried to detach their HEAD while keeping the working directory on the same commit we actually did not completely do a detach operation internally. The problem was caused by git-gui not forcing the HEAD symbolic ref to be updated to a SHA-1 hash when we were not switching revisions. Now we update the HEAD ref if we aren't currently detached or the hashes don't match. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-02Mark strings for translation.Christian Stimming
The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat. Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both delimiters would work fine. [jes: I merged the later patches to that end.] Signed-off-by: Christian Stimming <stimming@tuhh.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
2007-07-29git-gui: Unify wording to say "to stage" instead of "to add"Christian Stimming
Also, the warning message when clicking "Reset" is adapted to the wording "Reset" rather than a confusion "Cancel commit?". Signed-off-by: Christian Stimming <stimming@tuhh.de> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-23git-gui: Avoid unnecessary symbolic-ref call during checkoutShawn O. Pearce
If we are checking out the branch we are already on then there is no need to call symbolic-ref to update the HEAD pointer to the "new" branch name, it is already correct. Currently this situation does not happen very often, but it can be seen in some workflows where the user always recreates their local branch from a remote tracking branch and more-or-less ignores what branch he/she is on right now. As they say, ignorance is bliss. This case will however become a tad more common when we overload checkout_op to actually also perform all of our merges. In that case we will likely see that the branch we want to "checkout" is the current branch, as we are actually just merging into it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-22git-gui: Fix unnecessary fast-forward during checkoutShawn O. Pearce
If we are trying to checkout a local branch which is matched to a remote tracking branch, but the local branch is newer than the remote tracking branch we actually just want to switch to the local branch. The local branch is "Already up to date". Unfortunately we tossed away the local branch's commit SHA-1 and kept the remote tracking branch's SHA-1, which meant that the user lost the local changes when we updated the working directory. At least we did not update the local branch ref, so the user's data was still intact. We now toss the tracking branch's SHA-1 and replace with the local branch's SHA-1 before the checkout, ensuring that we pass of the right tree to git-read-tree when we update the working directory.

2007-07-21git-gui: Internally allow fetch without storing for future pull supportShawn O. Pearce
This is actually just an underlying code improvement that has no user visible component yet. UI improvements to actually fetch and merge via an arbitrary remote with no tracking branches must still follow to make this change useful for the end-user. Our tracking branch specifications are a Tcl list of three components: - local tracking branch name - remote name/url - remote branch name/tag name This change just makes the first element optional. If it is an empty string we will run the fetch, but have the value be saved only into the special .git/FETCH_HEAD, where we can pick it up and use it for this one time operation.

2007-07-21git-gui: Skip unnecessary read-tree work during checkoutShawn O. Pearce
I totally missed this obvious optimization in the checkout code path. If our current repository HEAD is actually at the commit we are moving to, and we agreed to perform this switch earlier, then we have no files to update in the working directory and any stale mtimes are simply not of consequence right now. We can pretend like we ran a read-tree and skip right into the post-read-tree work, such as updating the branch and setting the symbolic-ref. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-21git-gui: Simplify error case for unsupported merge typesShawn O. Pearce
If we are given a merge type we don't understand in checkout_op there is probably a bug in git-gui somewhere that allowed this unknown merge strategy to come into this part of the code path. We currently only recognize three merge types ('none', 'ff' and 'reset') but are going to be supporting more in the future. Rather than keep editing this message I'm going with a very generic "Uh, we don't do that!" type of error. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-21git-gui: Factor out common fast-forward merge caseShawn O. Pearce
In both the ff and reset merge_types supported by checkout_op the result is the same if the merge base of our target commit and the existing commit is the existing commit: its a fast-forward as the existing commit is fully contained in the target commit. This minor cleanup in logic will make it easier to implement a new kind of merge_type that actually merges the two trees with a real merge strategy, such as git-merge-recursive.

2007-07-21git-gui: Save the merge base during checkout_op processingShawn O. Pearce
I've decided to teach checkout_op how to perform more than just a fast-forward and reset type of merge. This way we can also do a full recursive merge even when we are recreating an existing branch from a remote. To help with that process I'm saving the merge-base we computed during the ff/reset/fail decision process, in case we need it later on when we actually start a true merge operation.

2007-07-09git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executablesShawn O. Pearce
Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32. While I was working on this change I also converted all of our existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper functions. These functions take additional options like --nice and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available) or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

2007-07-09git-gui: Show a progress meter for checking out filesShawn O. Pearce
Sometimes switching between branches can take more than a second or two, in which case `git checkout` would normally have shown a small progress meter to the user on the terminal to let them know that we are in fact working, and give them a reasonable idea of when we may finish. We now do obtain that progress meter from read-tree -v and include it in our main window's status bar. This allows users to see how many files we have checked out, how many remain, and what percentage of the operation is completed. It should help to keep users from getting bored during a large checkout operation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-09git-gui: Refactor branch switch to support detached headShawn O. Pearce
This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently). Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool) to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge repositories. Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
