Pointed out by Chris Riddoch.
Note that this is pretty much just a proposal; I didn't test if everything
fits perfectly right, but things seem to be pretty much okay. repo.or.cz
uses it now as a test drive - if you find any visual quirks, please point
them out, with a patch if possible since I'm total CSS noob and debugging
CSS is an extremely painful experience for me.
Note that this patch actually does change visual look of gitweb in Firefox
with my resolution and default settings - everything is bigger and I can't
explain the joy of actually seeing gitweb text that is in _readable_ size;
also, my horizontal screen real estate feels better used now. But judging
from the look of most modern webpages on the 'net, most people prefer
reading the web with strained eyes and/or a magnifying glass (I wonder what
species of scientists should look into this mystifying phenomenon) - so,
please tell us what you think.
Maybe we might want to get rid of absolute sizes other than font sizes in
the CSS file too in the long term.

This patch renames config_boolean() to config_bool() for consistency with
the commandline interface and because it is shorter but still obvious. ;-)
It also changes the return value from some obscure string to real Perl

git-clone: don't get fooled by $PWD
Fix documentation of tag in git-fast-import.txt
If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine,
trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not
work as expected:
$ cd /home/me
$ cd git
$ ls ../
his mine
$ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git
This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to
check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is
set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is
different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git.
We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know
the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably
more portable.

gitweb: choose appropriate view for file type if a= parameter missing
gitweb URLs use the a= parameter for the view to use on the given path, such
as "blob" or "tree". Currently, if a gitweb URL omits the a= parameter,
gitweb just shows the top-level repository summary, regardless of the path
given. gitweb could instead choose an appropriate view based on the file
type: blob for blobs (files), tree for trees (directories), and summary if
no path given (the URL included no f= parameter, or an empty f= parameter).
Apart from making gitweb more robust and supporting URL editing more easily,
this change would aid the creation of shortcuts to git repositories using
simple substitution, such as:
http://example.org/git/?p=path/to/repo.git;hb=HEAD;f=%s
With this patch, if given the hash through the h= parameter, or the hash
base (hb=) and a filename (f=), gitweb uses cat-file -t to automatically set
the a= parameter.

Rather than storing the temporary commit message data in .msg (in
the working tree) we now store the message data in .git/MERGE_MSG.
By storing the message in the .git/ directory we are sure we will
never have a collision with a user file, should a project actually
have a ".msg" file in their top level tree. We also don't need to
worry about leaving this stale file behind during a `reset --hard`
and have it show up in the output of status.
We are using .git/MERGE_MSG here to store the temporary message as
it is an already established convention between git-merge, git-am
and git-rebase that git-commit will default the user's edit buffer
to the contents of .git/MERGE_MSG. If the user is going to need
to resolve this commit or wants to edit the message on their own
prepping that file with the desired message "just works".

We can use [list ...] rather than "", especially when we are talking
about values as then they are properly escaped if necessary. Small
nit, but probably not a huge deal as the only data being inlined here
is Tk paths.
Some of the lines in the parser code were longer than 80 characters
wide, and they actually were all the same value on the end part of
the line. Rather than keeping the mess copied-and-pasted around we
can set the last argument into a local variable and reuse it many
times.
The commit display code was also rather difficult to read on an 80
character wide terminal, so I'm moving it all into a double quoted
string that is easier to read.

git-gui: Generate blame on uncommitted working tree file
If the user doesn't give us a revision parameter to our blame
subcommand then we can generate blame against the working tree
file by passing the file path off to blame with the --contents
argument. In this case we cannot obtain the contents of the
file from the ODB; instead we must obtain the contents by
reading the working directory file as-is.

git-gui: Smarter command line parsing for browser, blame
The browser subcommand now optionally accepts a single revision
argument; if no revision argument is supplied then we use the
current branch as the tree to browse. This is very common, so
its a nice option.
Our blame subcommand now tries to perform the same assumptions
as the command line git-blame; both the revision and the file
are optional. We assume the argument is a filename if the file
exists in the working directory, otherwise we assume the argument
is a revision name. A -- can be supplied between the two to force
parsing, or before the filename to force it to be a filename.

git-gui: Use prefix if blame is run in a subdirectory
I think it was Andy Parkins who pointed out that git gui blame HEAD f
does not work if f is in a subdirectory and we are currently running
git-gui within that subdirectory. This is happening because we did
not take the user's prefix into account when we computed the file
path in the repository.
We now assume the prefix as returned by rev-parse --show-prefix is
valid and we use that during the command line blame subcommand when
we apply the parameters.

git-gui: Convert blame to the "class" way of doing things
Our blame viewer code has historically been a mess simply
because the data for multiple viewers was all crammed into
a single pair of Tcl arrays. This made the code hard to
read and even harder to maintain.
Now that we have a slightly better way of tracking the data
for our "meta-widgets" we can make use of it here in the
blame viewer to cleanup the code and make it easier to work
with long term.

git-gui: Don't attempt to inline array reads in methods
If a variable reference to a field is to an array, and it is
the only reference to that field in that method we cannot make
it an inlined [set foo] call as the regexp was converting the
Tcl code wrong. We were producing "[set foo](x)" for "$foo(x)",
and that isn't valid Tcl when foo is an array. So we just punt
if the only occurance has a ( after it.

git-gui: Convert browser, console to "class" format
Now that we have a slightly easier method of working with per-widget
data we should make use of that technique in our browser and console
meta-widgets, as both have a decent amount of information that they
store on a per-widget basis and our current approach of handling
it is difficult to follow.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
As most of the git-gui interface is based upon "meta-widgets"
that need to carry around a good deal of state (e.g. console
windows, browser windows, blame viewer) we have a good deal
of messy code that tries to store this meta-widget state in
global arrays, where keys into the array are formed from a
union of a unique "object instance id" and the field name.
This is a simple class system for Tcl that allows us to
hide much of that mess by making Tcl do what it does best;
process strings to manipulate its own code during startup.
Each object instance is placed into its own namespace. The
namespace is created when the object instance is created and
the namespace is destroyed when the object instance is removed
from the system. Within that namespace we place variables for
each field within the class; these variables can themselves be
scalar values or full-blown Tcl arrays.
All fields must be declared before any constructors or methods. This
allows our class to generate a list of the fields so it can properly
alter the definition of the constructor and method bodies prior to
passing them off to Tcl for definition with proc. A field may optionally
be given a default/initial value. This can only be done for non-array
type fields.
Constructors are given full access to all fields of the class, so they
can initialize the data values. The default values of fields (if any)
are set before the constructor runs, and the implicit local variable
$this is initialized to the instance identifier.
Methods are given access to fields they actually use in their body.
Every method has an implicit "this" argument inserted as its first
parameter; callers of methods must be sure they supply this value.
Some basic optimization tricks are performed (but not much). We
try to only upvar (locally bind) fields that are accessed within a
method, but we err on the side of caution and may upvar more than
we need to. If a variable is accessed only once within a method
and that access is by $foo (read) we avoid the upvar and instead
use [set foo] to obtain the value. This is slightly faster as Tcl
does not need to lookup the variable twice.
We also offer some small syntatic sugar for interacting with Tk and
the fileevent callback system in Tcl. If a field (say "foo") is used
as "@foo" we insert instead the true global variable name of that
variable into the body of the constructor or method. This allows easy
binding to Tk textvariable options, e.g.:
label $w.title -textvariable @title
Proper namespace callbacks can also be setup with the special cb proc
that is defined in each namespace. [cb _foo a] will invoke the method
_foo in the current namespace, passing it $this as the first (implied)
parameter and a as the second parameter. This makes it very simple to
connect an object instance to a -command option for a Tk widget or to
a fileevent readable or writable for a file channel.

Since we support vi-like keys for scrolling in other UI contexts
we can easily do so here too. Tk's handy little `event generate'

to the arrow and pageup/pagedown keys, rather than running the

git-gui: Include commit id/subject in merge choices
When merging branches using our local merge feature it can be
handy to know the first few digits of the commit the ref points
at as well as the short description of the branch name.
Unfortunately I'm unable to use three listboxes in a row, as Tcl
freaks out and refuses to let me have a selection in more than
one of them at any given point in time. So instead we use a
fixed width font in the existing listbox and organize the data
into three columns. Not nearly as nice looking, but users can
continue to use the listbox's features.

Johannes Sixt pointed out that git-gui was randomly selecting
which branch (or tag!) it will show in the merge dialog when
more than one ref points at the same commit. This can be a
problem for the user if they want to merge a branch, but the
ref that git-gui selected to display was actually a tag that
points at the commit at the tip of that branch. Since the
user is looking for the branch, and not the tag, its confusing
to not find it, and worse, merging the tag causes git-merge to
generate a different message than if the branch was selected.
While I am in here and am messing around I have changed the
for-each-ref usage to take advantage of its --tcl formatting,
and to fetch the subject line of the commit (or tag) we are
looking at. This way we could present the subject line in the
UI to the user, given them an even better chance to select
the correct branch.

git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanity
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.

gitweb: Add combined diff support to git_difftree_body
You have to pass all parents as final parameters of git_difftree_body
subroutine; the number of parents of a diff must be equal to the
number derived from parsing git-diff-tree output, raw combined diff
for git_difftree_body to display combined diff correctly (but it is
not checked).
Currently the possibility of displaying diffree of combined diff is
not used in gitweb code; git_difftree_body is always caled for
ordinary diff, and with only one parent.
Description of output for combined diff:
----------------------------------------
The difftree table for combined diff starts with a cell with pathname
of changed blob (changed file), which if possible is hidden link
(class="list") to the 'blob' view of final version (if it exists),
like for difftree for ordinary diff. If file was deleted in the final
commit then filename is not hyperlinked.
There is no cell with single file status (new, deleted, mode change,
rename), as for combined diff as there is no single status: different
parents might have different status.
If git_difftree_body was called from git_commitdiff (for 'commitdiff'
action) there is inner link to anchor to appropriate fragment (patch)
in patchset body; the "patch" link does not replace "diff" link like
for ordinary diff.
Each of "diff" links is in separate cell, contrary to output for
ordinary diff in which all links are (at least for now) in a single
cell.
For each parent, if file was not present we leave cell empty. If file
was deleted in the result, we provide link to 'blob' view. Otherwise
we provide link to 'commitdiff' view, even if patch (diff) consist
only of extended diff header, and contents is not changed (pure
rename, pure mode change). The only difference is that link to
"blobdiff" view with no contents change is with 'nochange' class.
At last, there is provided link to current version of file as "blob"
link, if the file was not deleted in the result, and lik to history of
a file, if there exists one. (The link to file history might be
confused, at least for now, by renames.)
Note that git-diff-tree raw output dor combined diff does not provide
filename before change for renames and copies; we use
git_get_path_by_hash to get "src" filename for renames (this means
additional call to git-ls-tree for a _whole_ tree).

that makes unchanged file (in this case, file1) as a candidate
for copy & paste source when annotating an existing file

makes the process very expensive. We've actually seen this

blame: Notice a wholesale incorporation of an existing file.
The -C option to blame tries to find a section of a preimage
file by running diff against the lines whose origin is still
unknown, and excluding the different parts. The code however
did not cover the case where the tail part of the section
matched, which we handle for the normal non-move/copy codepath.
This breakage was most visible when preimage file matches in its
entirety and failed to pass blame in such a case.

of git so will naturally be associated with the installed version.
But these two documents in particular are often read from web pages
while users are still exploring git. It's important to mention
version 1.5.1 since these documents provide example commands that
won't work with previous versions of git.
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!

git-tag(1): -v option is a subcommand; fix code block
When the -v is passed, git-tag will exit after it is processed like it
does with the -d and -l options. Additionally, missing code block caused
wrong rendering of an option example.

Improve request-pull to handle non-rebased branches
This is actually a few different changes to request-pull,
making it slightly smarter:
1) Minor cleanup of revision->base variable names, making it
follow the head/headrev naming convention that is already
in use.
2) Compute the merge-base between the two revisions upfront
and reuse that selected merge-base to create the diffstat.
3) Refuse to generate a pull request for branches that have no
existing relationship. These aren't very common and would mess
up our diffstat generation.
4) Disable the PAGER when running shortlog and diff, as these
would otherwise activate the pager for each command when
git-request-pull is run on a tty. Instead users can get the
entire output paged (if desired) using `git -p request-pull`.
5) Use shortlog rather than `git log | git shortlog` now that
recent shortlog versions are able to run the revision listing
internally.
6) Attempt to resolve the input URL using the user's configured
remotes. This is useful if the URL you want the recipient to
see is also the one you used to push your changes. If not a
config-file remote could easily be setup for the public URL
and request-pull could be passed that name instead.
7) Automatically guess and include the remote branch name in the
body of the message. We list the branch name immediately after
the URL, making it easy for the recipient to copy and paste
the entire line onto a `git pull` command line. Rumor has it
Linus likes this format, for exactly that reason.
If multiple branches at the remote match $headrev we take the
first one returned by peek-remote and assume it is suitable.
If no branches are available we warn the user about the problem,
but insert a static string that is not a valid branch name
and would be obvious to anyone reading the message as being
totally incorrect. This allows users to still generate a
template message without network access (for example) and
hand-correct the bits that cannot be verified.

Allow PERL_PATH="/usr/bin/env perl"
Make xstrndup common
diff.c: fix "size cache" handling.
http-fetch: Disable use of curl multi support for libcurl < 7.16.
There is a mechanism PERL_PATH in the Makefile to specify path to
Perl binary, but sometimes it is convenient to let 'env' figure
out where Perl comes from, with PERL_PATH="/usr/bin/env perl".
Allowing this would make things easier to MacPorts, where we wish
to work with the MacPorts perl if it is installed, but fall back
to the system perl if it isn't.

This also improves the implementation to match how strndup is
specified (by GNU): if the length given is longer than the string,
only the string's length is allocated and copied, but the string need
not be null-terminated if it is at least as long as the given length.
