2007-10-10git-gui: Consolidate the Fetch and Push menus into a Remote menuShawn O. Pearce
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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-03git-gui: remove dots in some UI stringsMichele Ballabio
Dots in a UI string usually mean that a dialog box will appear waiting for further input. So this patch removes unneeded dots for actions that do not require user's input. Signed-off-by: Michele Ballabio <barra_cuda@katamail.com> 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>
2007-07-25git-gui: Save remote urls obtained from config/remotes setupShawn O. Pearce
I'm storing the URLs of any pre-configured remote repositories that we happen to come across so that we can later use these URLs to show to the user in parts of the UI that might care. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
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: Maintain remote and source ref for tracking branchesShawn O. Pearce
In the next change I want to let the user create their local branch name to match the remote branch name, so that the existing push dialog can push the branch back up to the remote repository without needing to do any sort of remapping. To do that we need to know exactly what branch name the remote system is using. So all_tracking_branches returns a list of specifications, where each specification is itself a list of: - local ref name (destination we fetch into) - remote name (repository we fetch from) - remote ref name (source ref we fetch from) Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-07-09git-gui: Optimize for newstyle refs/remotes layoutShawn O. Pearce
Most people using Git 1.5.x and later are using the newer style of remotes layout where all of their tracking branches are in refs/remotes and refs/heads contains only the user's own local branches. In such a situation we can avoid calling is_tracking_branch for each head we are considering because we know that all of the heads must be local branches if no fetch option or Pull: line maps a branch into that namespace. If however any remote maps a remote branch into a local tracking branch that resides in refs/heads we do exactly what we did before, which requires scanning through all fetch lines in case any patterns are matched. I also switched some regexp/regsub calls to string match as this can be a faster operation for prefix matching. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-05-28git-gui: GUI support for running 'git remote prune <name>'Shawn O. Pearce
In some workflows it is common for a large number of temporary branches to be created in a remote repository, get fetched to clients that typically only use git-gui, and then later have those branches deleted from the remote repository once they have been fully merged into all destination branches. Users of git-gui would obviously like to have their local tracking branches cleaned up for them, otherwise their local tracking branch namespace would grow out of control. The best known way to remove these tracking branches is to run "git remote prune <remotename>". Even though it is more of a Porcelain command than plumbing I'm invoking it through the UI, because frankly I don't see a reason to reimplement its ls-remote output filtering and config file parsing. A new configuration option (gui.pruneduringfetch) can be used to automatically enable running "git remote prune <remotename>" after the fetch of that remote also completes successfully. This is off by default as it require an additional network connection and is not very fast on Cygwin if a large number of tracking branches have been removed (due to the 2 fork+exec calls per branch).

2007-05-08git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanityShawn O. Pearce
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>
