git, branch gitgui-0.6.0

git-gui: Change base version to 0.6.

2007-02-12T22:45:21Z

This is the start of the 0.6 series of git-gui. I'm calling it 0.6 (rather than any other value) as I already had a private tag on one system based on 0.5, and that tag is quite a bit behind this version. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Guess our version accurately as a subproject.

2007-02-12T22:05:10Z

When we are included as a subproject, such as how git.git carries us, we want to retain our own version number and not the version number assigned by git.git's own tags. Consequently we need to locate the correct tag which applies to our tree content and its commit lineage. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Handle gitgui tags in version gen.

2007-02-12T21:38:29Z

I've decided to use gitgui-0.5 as the format for tags in the git-gui repository. The prefix of gitgui was chosen here to make its namespace different from the namespace used by git itself, allowing developers to pull both tag namespaces into the same repository. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Generate a version file on demand.

2007-02-12T21:14:44Z

Because git-gui is being shipped as a subproject of the main Git project and will often have a different lifecycle than the main Git project, we should ship our own version number in the release tarball rather than relying on the main Git version file. Git's master Makefile will invoke our own with the target dist-version, asking us to save off our GITGUI_VERSION value into our own version file, so that our GIT-VERSION-GEN script can recover it at build time.

git-gui: Rename GIT_VERSION to GITGUI_VERSION.

2007-02-12T21:12:04Z

Now that the decision has been made to treat git-gui as a subproject, rather than merging it directly into git, we should use a different substitution for our version value to avoid any possible confusion. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Allow gitexecdir, INSTALL to be set by the caller.

2007-02-12T20:37:50Z

When used as a subproject within git.git our Makefile must honor the gitexecdir which git.git's Makefile is passing down to us, ensuring that we install our executables into the libexec chosen by the end-user or packager. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Stop deleting gitk preferences.

2007-02-11T22:19:38Z

Now that git 1.5.0 and later contains a version of gitk that uses correct geometry on Windows platforms, even if ~/.gitk exists, we should not delete the user's ~/.gitk to work around the bug. It is downright mean to remove a user's preferences for another app. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Focus into blame panels on Mac OS.

git-gui: Improve annotated file display.

2007-02-09T06:59:38Z

Rather than trying to mark the background color of the line numbers to show which lines have annotated data loaded, we now show a ruler between the line numbers and the file data. This ruler is just 1 character wide and its background color is set to grey to denote which lines have annotation ready. I had to make this change as I kept loosing the annotation marker when a line was no longer colored as part of the current selection. We now color the lines blamed on the current commit in yellow, the lines in the commit which came after (descendant) in red (hotter, less tested) and the lines in the commit before (ancestor) in blue (cooler, better tested).

git-gui: Jump to the first annotation block as soon as its available.

2007-02-09T03:41:51Z

To help clue users into the fact that annotation data arrives incrementally, and that they should try to locate the region they want while the tool is running, we jump to the first line of the first annotation if the user has not already clicked on a line they are interested in and if the window is still looking at the very top of the file. Since it takes a second (at least on my PowerBook) to even generate the first annotation for git-gui.sh, the user should have plenty of time to adjust the scrollbar or click on a line even before we get that first annotation record in, which allows the user to bypass our automatic jumping.
