git-gui: Ensure .git/info/exclude is honored in Cygwin workdirs
If we are using Cygwin and the git repository is actually a
workdir (by way of git-new-workdir) but this Tcl process is
a native Tcl/Tk and not the Cygwin Tcl/Tk then we are unable
to traverse the .git/info path as it is a Cygwin symlink and
not a standard Windows directory.
So we actually need to start a Cygwin process that can do the
path translation for us and let it test for .git/info/exclude

not.

git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"
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 problem here was we disabled the chdir to the root of the
working tree when we are running with a "bare allowed" feature
such as blame or browser, but we still kept the prefix we found via
`git rev-parse --show-prefix`. This caused us to try and look for
the file "console.tcl" within the subdirectory but also include
the subdirectory's own path from the root of the working tree.
This is unlikely to succeed, unless the user just happened to have
a "lib/lib/console.tcl" file in the repository, in which case we
would produce the wrong result.
In the case of a bare repository we shouldn't get back a value from
`rev-parse --show-prefix`, so really $_prefix should only be set
to the non-empty string if we are in a working tree and we are in a
subdirectory of that working tree. If this is true we really want
to always be at the top level of the working tree, as all paths are

git-gui: Format tracking branch merges as though they were pulls
If we are merging a tracking branch we know exactly what remote URL
that branch is fetched from, and what its name is on that remote
repository. In this case we can setup a merge message that looks
just like a standard `git-pull $remote $branch` operation by filling
out FETCH_HEAD before we start git-merge, and then run git-merge just
like git-pull does.
I think the result of this behavior is that merges look a lot nicer
when the came off of local tracking branches, because they no longer
say "commit 'origin/...'" to describe the commit being merged but
instead now mention the specific repository we fetched those commits
from.

git-gui now saves the user's commit message buffer every couple of

to .git/GITGUI_MSG and delete .git/GITGUI_BCK, if it exists.
During startup we favor .git/GITGUI_BCK over .git/GITGUI_MSG. This

git-gui: Correct ls-tree buffering problem in browser
Our file browser was showing bad output as it did not properly buffer
a partial record when read from `ls-tree -z`. This did not show up on
my Mac OS X system as most trees are small, the pipe buffers generally
big and `ls-tree -z` was generally fast enough that all data was ready
before Tcl started to read. However on my Cygwin system one of my
production repositories had a large enough tree and packfile that it
took a couple of pipe buffers for `ls-tree -z` to complete its dump.

We now embed any GIT_* and SSH_* environment variables as well as

git-gui: Teach console widget to use git_read
Now that we are pretty strict about setting up own absolute paths to
any git helper (saving a marginal runtime cost to resolve the tool)
we can do the same in our console widget by making sure all console
execs go through git_read if they are a git subcommand, and if not
make sure they at least try to use the Tcl 2>@1 IO redirection if
possible, as it should be faster than |& cat.

git-gui: Perform our own magic shbang detection on Windows
If we cannot locate a .exe for a git tool that we want to run than
it may just be a Bourne shell script as these are popular in Git.
In such a case the first line of the file will say "#!/bin/sh" so
a UNIX kernel knows what program to start to parse and run that.
But Windows doesn't support shbang lines, and neither does the Tcl
that comes with Cygwin.
We can pass control off to the git wrapper as that is a real Cygwin
program and can therefore start the Bourne shell script, but that is
at least two fork+exec calls to get the program running. One to do
the fork+exec of the git wrapper and another to start the Bourne shell
script. If the program is run multiple times it is rather expensive
as the magic shbang detection won't be cached across executions.
On MinGW/MSYS we don't have the luxury of such magic detection. The
MSYS team has taught some of this magic to the git wrapper, but again
its slower than it needs to be as the git wrapper must still go and
run the Bourne shell after it is called.
We now attempt to guess the shbang line on Windows by reading the
first line of the file and building our own command line path from
it. Currently we support Bourne shell (sh), Perl and Python. That
is the entire set of shbang lines that appear in git.git today.

git-gui: Treat `git version` as `git --version`
We know that the version subcommand of git is special. It does not
currently have an executable link installed into $gitexecdir and we
therefore would never match it with one of our file exists tests.
So we forward any invocations to it directly to the git wrapper, as
it is a builtin within that executable.

git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executables
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.

git-gui: Show a progress meter for checking out files
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

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
