Now that our lists represent more defined states it no longer makes any

The list of states which are valid for update-index were a little
too verbose and fed a few too many cases to the program. We can
do better with less lines of code by using more pattern matching,
and since we already were globbing here there's little change in
runtime cost.

We can revert any file which has a valid stage 0 (is not unmerged)
and which is has a working directory status of M or D. This vastly
simplifies our pattern matching on file status when building up the
list of files to perform a checkout-index against.

Rather than relying on the file state and just inverting it, we should
look at which file icon the user clicked on. If they clicked on the
one in the "Changes To Be Committed" list then they want to unstage
the file. If they clicked on the icon in the "Changed But Not Updated"
list then they want to add the file to the commit. This should be much
more reliable about capturing the user's intent then looking at the file
state.

Now that core Git refers to resetting paths in the index as "unstaging"
the paths we should do the same in git-gui, both internally in our code

The DM state cannot really happen. Its implying that the file has
been deleted in the index, but the file in the working directory has
been modified relative to the file in the index. This is complete
nonsense, the file doesn't exist in the index for it to be different
against!
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Apparently my earlier suspicion that the file state DD was a bug was
correct. A file which has been deleted from the working directory and
from the index will always get the state of D_ during a rescan. Thus
the only valid state for this to have is D_. We should always use only
D_ internally during our state changes.

This is a rather drastic change to the git-gui user interface, but it
doesn't really look any different yet. I've taken the two lists and
converted them to being "changes to be committed" and "changed but
not updated". These lists correspond to the same lists output by
git-runstatus based on how files differ in the HEAD<->index and the
index<->working directory comparsions it performs.
This change is meant to correlate with the change in Git 1.5.0 where
we have brought the index more into the foreground and are trying to
teach users to make use of it as part of their daily operations.

I'm going to refactor the way file status information gets displayed
so it more closely aligns with the way 'git-runstatus' displays the

that end the other file list is going to be changed to be the working
directory difference. So this change renames it.

The gitdir global variable is essentially read-only, and is used rather
frequently. So are appname and reponame. Needing to constantly declare
'global appname' just so we can access the value as $appname is downright
annoying and redundant. So instead I'm declaring these as procedures and
changing all uses to invoke the procedure rather than access the global
directly.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
We use reponame in a number of locations, and every time its always the
same value. Instead of computing this multiple times with code that was
copied and pasted around we can compute it once immediately after the
global gitdir has been computed and set.

Users often forget to repack their object database, then start to
complain about how slow it is to perform common operations after
they have collected thousands of loose objects in their objects
directory. A simple repack usually restores performance.
During startup git-gui now asks git-count-objects how many loose
objects exist, and if this number exceeds a hardcoded threshold
we suggest that the user compress the database (aka run 'git gc')
at this time. I've hardcoded this to 2000 objects on non-Windows
systems as there the filesystems tend to handle the ~8 objects
per directory just fine. On Windows NTFS and FAT are just so slow
that we really start to lag when more than 200 loose objects exist,
so the hardcoded threshold is much lower there.

I really hate that I have this specialized hack within git-gui, but

If a user wants to report an issue they will likely want to include
the version number with their issue report. This may be difficult
to enter if the version number includes an abbreviated commit SHA1

version data to the clipboard, ready for pasting into a report.

I'm stealing the exact logic used by core Git within its own Makefile to
setup the version number within scripts and executables. This way we
can be sure that the version number is always updated after a commit,
and that the version number also reflects when it is coming from a dirty
working directory (and is thus pretty worthless).
I've cleaned up some of the version display code in the about dialog too.
There were simply too many blank lines in the bottom section where we

We want to embed the version of git-gui directly into the script file,

The user really doesn't need to see the technical details of how we

I just found a whole slew of places where we still were using the term
'include' rather than 'add' to refer to the act of updating the index

There appears to be a bug on one of my test systems where cygpath with
the --long-name option is generating a corrupt string that does not
actually refer to sh.exe. This breaks any desktop icon created by
git-gui as the executable we are trying to invoke does not exist.
Since Cygwin is typically installed as C:\cygwin long path names is
probably not actually necessary to link to the shell.
I also added a small echo to the start of the icon script, as it can
take one of my test systems several seconds to startup git-gui. This
way the user knows we're starting git-gui, and was politely asked to
wait for the action to complete.

We no longer describe updating the index as including changes, as we

Apparently I did not account for the D_ file state. This can occur when
a file has been marked for deletion by deleting it from the index, and
the file also does not exist in the working directory. Typically this
happens when the user deletes the file, hits Rescan, then includes the
missing file in the commit, then hits Rescan again. We don't find the
file in the working directory but its been removed in the index, so the
state becomes D_.
This state should be identical with DD. I'm not entirely sure why DD
occurs sometimes and D_ others, it would seem like D_ is the state that
should be happening instead of DD, leading me to believe there is a quirk
in git-gui's state manipulation code.

Now that git 1.5.0-rc1 and later has a 'git gc' command which performs
all important repository management activites (including reflog pruning,
repacking local objects, unnecessary loose object pruning and rerere cache
expiration) we should run 'gc' when the user wants us to cleanup their
object database for them.
I think the name 'gc' is horrible for a GUI application like git-gui,
so I'm labeling the menu action 'Compress Database' instead. Hopefully
this will provide some clue to the user about what the action does.

If the user has partial includes disabled then it doesn't matter what

If a file has a merge conflict (index state = U) the user will need to
run update-index on that file to resolve all stages down to stage 0,

correct, and that they didn't just include the file into the commit
while merge conflicts still exist within the file.

Sometimes its useful to start gitk with the --all option, to view all of

for them.
This also makes it slightly more explicit, that when gitk starts up by
default its showing the current branch and not everything. Yes gitk
isn't showing that to the user, but the fact that the user had to make
a decision between seeing this current branch or all branches will
hopefully make them study gitk's display before jumping to a conclusion.
