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: 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: 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: 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.

git-gui: Cleanup bindings within merge dialog

Misc. code cleanups in the merge dialog's binding setup and action button creation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Replace merge dialog with our revision picker widget

2007-07-25T08:23:31Z

Now that we only support merging one branch we can offer the user a better user interface experience by allowing them to select the revision they want to merge through our revision picking widget. This change neatly solves the problem of locating a branch out of a sea of 200 tracking branches, and of dealing with very long branch names that all have a common prefix. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

git-gui: Show ref last update times in revision chooser tooltips

2007-07-25T08:23:20Z

If we can we now show the last modification date of a loose ref as part of the tooltip information shown in the revision picker. This gives the user an indication of when was the last time that the ref was modified locally, and may especially be of interest when looking at a tracking branch. If we cannot find the loose ref file than we try to fallback on the reflog and scan it for the date of the last record. We don't start with the reflog however as scanning it backwards from the end is not an easy thing to do in Tcl. So I'm being lazy here and just going through the entire file, line by line. Since that is less efficient than a single stat system call, its our fallback strategy. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce
