Add options to control the search for copies in blame.

2008-07-17T02:09:28Z

On huge repositories, -C -C can be way too slow to be unconditionally enabled, and it can also be useful to control its precision. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gavrilov Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Add option for changing the width of the commit message text box

2008-03-08T01:59:35Z

The width of the commit message text area is currently hard-coded to 75 characters. This value might be not optimal for some projects. For instance users who would like to generate GNU-style ChangeLog file from git commit message might prefer commit messages of width no longer than 70 characters. This patch adds a global and per repository option "Commit Message Text Width", which could be used to change the width of the commit message text area.

git-gui: Correct size of dictionary name widget in options dialog

2008-02-14T06:07:39Z

We don't need to fill this entire horizontal cavity, it looks really bad on some platforms to stretch the widget out to fill the window. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Automatically spell check commit messages as the user types

2008-02-12T07:35:18Z

Many user friendly tools like word processors, email editors and web browsers allow users to spell check the message they are writing as they type it, making it easy to identify a common misspelling of a word and correct it on the fly. We now open a bi-directional pipe to Aspell and feed the message text the user is editing off to the program about once every 300 milliseconds. This is frequent enough that the user sees the results almost immediately, but is not so frequent as to cause significant additional load on the system. If the user has modified the message text during the last 300 milliseconds we delay until the next period, ensuring that we avoid flooding the Aspell process with a lot of text while the user is actively typing their message. We wait to send the current message buffer to Aspell until the user is at a word boundary, thus ensuring that we are not likely to ask for misspelled word detection on a word that the user is actively typing, as most words are misspelled when only partially typed, even if the user has thus far typed it correctly. Misspelled words are highlighted in red and are given an underline, causing the word to stand out from the others in the buffer. This is a very common user interface idiom for displaying misspelled words, but differs from one platform to the next in slight variations. For example the Mac OS X system prefers using a dashed red underline, leaving the word in the original text color. Unfortunately the control that Tk gives us over text display is not powerful enough to handle such formatting so we have to work with the least common denominator. The top suggestions for a misspelling are saved in an array and offered to the user when they right-click (or on the Mac ctrl-click) a misspelled word. Selecting an entry from this menu will replace the misspelling with the correction shown. Replacement is integrated with the undo/redo stack so undoing a replacement will restore the misspelled original text. If Aspell could not be started during git-gui launch we silently eat the error and run without spell checking support. This way users who do not have Aspell in their $PATH can continue to use git-gui, although they will not get the advanced spelling functionality. If Aspell started successfully the version line and language are shown in git-gui's about box, below the Tcl/Tk versions. This way the user can verify the Aspell function has been activated. If Aspell crashes while we are running we inform the user with an error dialog and then disable Aspell entirely for the rest of this git-gui session. This prevents us from fork-bombing the system with Aspell instances that always crash when presented with the current message text, should there be a bug in either Aspell or in git-gui's output to it. We escape all input lines with ^, as recommended by the Aspell manual page, as this allows Aspell to properly ignore any input line that is otherwise looking like a command (e.g. ! to enable terse output). By using this escape however we need to correct all word offsets by -1 as Aspell is apparently considering the ^ escape to be part of the line's character count, but our Tk text widget obviously does not. Available dictionaries are offered in the Options dialog, allowing the user to select the language they want to spellcheck commit messages with for the current repository, as well as the global user setting that all repositories inherit. Special thanks to Adam Flott for suggesting connecting git-gui to Aspell for the purpose of spell checking the commit message, and to Wincent Colaiuta for the idea to wait for a word boundary before passing the message over for checking.

git-gui: Bind Cmd-, to Preferences on Mac OS X

2007-10-10T05:12:18Z

A Mac OS X UI convention is to have Cmd-, be the accelerator key for the preferences window, which by convention is located in the apple menu under a separator below the about command. We also now call this "Preferences..." as that is the conventional term used in English. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Refactor about dialog code into its own module

2007-10-10T05:12:16Z

The about dialog is getting somewhat long in size and will probably only get more complex as I try to improve upon its display. As the options dialog is even more complex than the about dialog we move the about dialog into its own module to reduce the complexity of the option dialog module. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Paper bag fix missing translated strings

2007-09-14T05:51:18Z

The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string "FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here. Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function. Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable name to use here. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Font chooser to handle a large number of font families

2007-09-13T23:07:46Z

Simon Sasburg noticed that on X11 if there are more fonts than can fit in the height of the screen Tk's native tk_optionMenu does not offer scroll arrows to the user and it is not possible to review all choices or to select those that are off-screen. On Mac OS X the tk_optionMenu works properly but is awkward to navigate if the list is long. This is a rewrite of our font selection by providing a new modal dialog that the user can launch from the git-gui Options panel. The dialog offers the user a scrolling list of fonts in a pane. An example text shows the user what the font looks like at the size they have selected. But I have to admit the example pane is less than ideal. For example in the case of our diff font we really should show the user an example diff complete with our native diff syntax coloring. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce Acked-by: Simon Sasburg

Mark strings for translation.

2007-09-02T15:54:48Z

The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat. Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both delimiters would work fine.
