git-gui: Minor refactoring of merge command line in merge support

2007-07-30T03:44:52Z

This is just a small code movement to cleanup how we generate the command line for a merge. I'm only doing it to make the next series of changes slightly more readable. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Use more modern looking icons in the tree browser

2007-07-30T03:44:52Z

This is a replacement of all of the icons in our tree browser window, as the prior icons just looked too 1980s Tk-ish. The icons used here are actually from a KDE themed look, so they might actually be familiar to some users of git-gui. Aside from using more modern looking icons we now have a special icon for executable blobs, to make them stand out from the normal non-executable blobs. We also denote symlinks now with a different icon, so they stand out from the other types of objects in the tree. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Don't offer to stage hunks from untracked files

2007-07-30T03:44:51Z

If the user looks at an untracked file in our diff pane we used to offer "Stage Hunk For Commit" in the context menu when they right-clicked in that pane. The problem is we don't actually have any diff hunks in untracked files, so there is nothing to really select for staging. So we now grey out the menu item, so the user cannot invoke it and think its broken when it does not perform any useful action. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Make sure remotes are loaded when picking revisions

2007-07-30T03:44:51Z

If we are started for only a blame/browser/citool run we don't usually initialize the list of remotes, or determine which refs are tracking branches and which are local branch heads. This is because some of that work is relatively expensive and is usually not going to be needed if we are started only for a blame, or to make a single commit. However by not loading the remote configuration we were crashing if the user tried to open a browser for another branch through the Repository menu, as our load_all_heads procedure was unable to decide which refs/heads/ items were actually local heads. We now force all remote configuration data to be loaded if we have not done so already and we are trying to create a revision mega widget. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Use progress bar while resetting/aborting files

2007-07-29T08:07:13Z

Resetting a large number of files on a slow filesystem can take considerable time, just as switching branches in such a case can take more than two seconds. We now take advantage of the progress meter output by read-tree and show it in the main window status bar, just like we do during checkout (branch switch). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Honor core.excludesfile when listing extra files

2007-07-29T07:22:27Z

Recent git versions have a git-status that honors the core.excludesfile configuration option when it reports on untracked files. Unfortunately I missed the introduction of this configuration option in the core porcelain implementation, so it was not reflected here in git-gui. Found and reported by Lars Noschinski .

git-gui: Unify wording to say "to stage" instead of "to add"

2007-07-29T07:09:07Z

Also, the warning message when clicking "Reset" is adapted to the wording "Reset" rather than a confusion "Cancel commit?". Signed-off-by: Christian Stimming Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Don't kill modified commit message buffer with merge templates

2007-07-27T06:30:15Z

If the user is in the middle of a merge and has already started to modify their commit message we were losing the user's changes when they pressed 'Rescan' after resolving issues or making changes in the working directory. The problem here was our background timer that saves the commit message buffer. It marks the commit message buffer as not being modified when it writes it out to disk, so during the rescan we assumed the buffer should be replaced with what we read from the MERGE_MSG file. So we now only read these files from .git if we have a valid backup file. Since we clear it on commit this will only have an impact while the user is actively editing the current commit.

git-gui: Remove usernames from absolute SSH urls during merging

2007-07-25T09:02:38Z

If we are being asked to merge a tracking branch that comes from a remote repository accessed by the very common SSH URL format of "user@host:/path/to/repo" then we really don't need the username as part of the merge message, it only clutters up the history and makes things more confusing. So we instead clip the username part off if the local filesystem path is absolute, as its probably not going to be an ambiguous URL even when it is missing the username. On the other hand we cannot clip the username off if the URL is not absolute, because in such cases (e.g. "user@host:myrepo") the directory that the repository path is resolved in is relative to the user's home directory, and the username becomes important.

git-gui: Format tracking branch merges as though they were pulls

2007-07-25T08:54:53Z

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.
