In some workflows users will want to almost always just create a new
local branch that matches a remote branch. In this type of workflow
it is handy to have the new branch dialog default to "Match Tracking
Branch" and "Starting Revision"-Tracking Branch", with the focus in
the branch filter field. This can save users working on this type
of workflow at least two mouse clicks every time they create a new
local branch or switch to one with a fast-forward.

If the user clicks on a line region that we haven't yet received
an annotation for from git-blame we show them "Loading annotation".
But I don't want the user to confuse this loading message with a
commit whose first line is "Loading annotation" and think we messed
up our display somehow. Since we never use italics for anything
else, I'm going with the idea that italic slant can be used to show
data is missing/elided out at the time being.

Johannes Sixt pointed out that dropping to 0 lines of context
does allow the user to get more fine-grained hunk selection,
especially since we don't currently support "highlight and
apply (or revert)".

Recently git-merge learned to avoid generating the diffstat after
a merge by reading the merge.diffstat configuration option. By
default this option is assumed to be true, as that is the old
behavior. However we can force it to false by setting it as a
standard boolean option.

Because we now try to automatically guess the library directory
in certain installations users may wonder where git-gui is getting
its supporting files from. We now display this location in our
About dialog, and we also include the location we are getting our
Git executables from.
Unfortunately users cannot use this 'About git-gui' dialog to
troubleshoot library loading problems; the dialog is defined by
code that exists in the library directory, creating a catch-22.

In some workflows it is common for a large number of temporary
branches to be created in a remote repository, get fetched to
clients that typically only use git-gui, and then later have
those branches deleted from the remote repository once they have
been fully merged into all destination branches. Users of git-gui
would obviously like to have their local tracking branches cleaned
up for them, otherwise their local tracking branch namespace would
grow out of control.
The best known way to remove these tracking branches is to run
"git remote prune <remotename>". Even though it is more of a
Porcelain command than plumbing I'm invoking it through the UI,
because frankly I don't see a reason to reimplement its ls-remote
output filtering and config file parsing.
A new configuration option (gui.pruneduringfetch) can be used to
automatically enable running "git remote prune <remotename>" after
the fetch of that remote also completes successfully. This is off
by default as it require an additional network connection and is
not very fast on Cygwin if a large number of tracking branches have
been removed (due to the 2 fork+exec calls per branch).

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.
We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.
I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a
huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of
the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library
files.
