Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> noted that installation on Cygwin

means we actually have:
/usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin
/usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share
So git-gui guesses that its library should be found within the
c:\cygwin\share directory, as that is where it should be relative
to the script itself in c:\cygwin\bin.
In my first version of this patch I tried to use `cygpath` to resolve
/usr/bin and /usr/share to test that they were in the same relative
locations, but that didn't work out correctly as we were actually

always used relative paths. So my original solution was quite wrong.

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.

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.

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

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.

git-gui: Use vi-like keys in merge dialog
Since we support vi-like keys for scrolling in other UI contexts
we can easily do so here too. Tk's handy little `event generate'
makes this a lot easier than I thought it would be. We may want
to go back and fix some of the other vi-like bindings to redirect
to the arrow and pageup/pagedown keys, rather than running the
view changes directly.
I've bound 'v' to visualize, as this is a somewhat common thing
to want to do in the merge dialog. Control (or Command) Return
is also bound to start the merge, much as it is bound in the
main window to activate the commit.

git-gui: Include commit id/subject in merge choices
When merging branches using our local merge feature it can be
handy to know the first few digits of the commit the ref points
at as well as the short description of the branch name.
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. So instead we use a
fixed width font in the existing listbox and organize the data
into three columns. Not nearly as nice looking, but users can
continue to use the listbox's features.

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.

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.

Uwe Kleine-König discovered git-gui mangled his surname and did
not send the proper UTF-8 byte sequence to git-commit-tree when

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).
