git-gui: Don't crash in citool mode on initial commit.

2007-02-21T06:33:59Z

Attempting to use `git citool` to create an initial commit caused git-gui to crash with a Tcl error as it tried to add the newly born branch to the non-existant branch menu. Moving this code to after the normal commit cleanup logic resolves the issue, as we only have a branch menu if we are not in singlecommit mode. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Remove TODO list.

2007-02-21T06:29:05Z

I'm apparently not very good at keeping my own TODO file current. I its also somewhat strange to keep the TODO list as part of the software branch, as its meta-information that is not directly related to the code. I'm pulling the TODO list from git-gui and moving it into a seperate branch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Include browser in our usage message.

2007-02-21T06:24:57Z

Now that the 'browser' subcommand can be used to startup the tree browser, it should be listed as a possible subcommand option in our usage message. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Change summary of git-gui.

2007-02-21T05:11:02Z

Since git-gui does more than create commits, it is unfair to call it "a commit creation tool". Instead lets just call it a graphical user interface. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Display all authors of git-gui.

2007-02-21T05:11:01Z

Now that git-gui has been released to the public as part of Git 1.5.0 I am starting to see some work from other people beyond myself and Paul. Consequently the copyright for git-gui is not strictly the two of us anymore, and these others deserve to have some credit given to them. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Use mixed path for docs on Cygwin.

2007-02-21T05:11:01Z

The Firefox browser requires that a URL use / to delimit directories. This is instead of \, as \ gets escaped by the browser into its hex escape code and then relative URLs are incorrectly resolved, Firefox no longer sees the directories for what they are. Since we are handing the browser a true URL, we better use the standard / for directories. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Correct crash when saving options in blame mode.

2007-02-18T07:12:32Z

Martin Waitz noticed that git-gui crashed while saving the user's options out if the application was started in blame mode. This was caused by the do_save_config procedure invoking reshow_diff incase the number of context lines was modified by the user. Because we bypassed main window UI setup to enter blame mode we did not set many of the globals which were accessed by reshow_diff, and reading unset variables is an error in Tcl. Aside from moving the globals to be set earlier, I also modified reshow_diff to not invoke clear_diff if there is no path currently in the diff viewer. This way reshow_diff does not crash when in blame mode due to the $ui_diff command not being defined. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Expose the browser as a subcommand.

2007-02-16T05:24:03Z

Some users may find being able to browse around an arbitrary branch to be handy, so we now expose our graphical browser through `git gui browse `. Yes, I'm being somewhat lazy and making the user give us the name of the branch to browse. They can always enter HEAD. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Create new branches from a tag.

2007-02-15T06:34:40Z

I'm missing the possibility to base a new branch on a tag. The following adds a tag drop down to the new branch dialog. Signed-off-by: Martin Koegler Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Prefer version file over git-describe.

2007-02-14T06:55:16Z

Some distributions are using Git for part of their package management system, but unpack Git's own source code for delivery from the .tar.gz. This means that when we walk up the directory tree with git-describe to locate a Git repository, the repository we find is for the distribution and *not* for git-gui. Consequently any tag we might find there is bogus and does not apply to us. In this case the version file should always exist and be readable, as the packager is working from the released .tar.gz sources. So we should always favor the version file over anything git-describe guess for us. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce
