git-gui: Assume `blame --incremental` output is in UTF-8
Most commits have author name encoded in UTF-8, but the incremental
blame output dumps raw bytes and doesn't give us the encoding header
from the commit. Rather than fixing up tooltip data after we have
viewed that particular commit in the blame viewer we can assume all
names are in UTF-8.
This is still going to cause problems when the author name is not
encoded in UTF-8, but the only (efficient) way to solve that is to
add an "encoding" header to the blame --incremental mode output,
as otherwise we need to run `git cat-file commit $sha1` for each

on any platform.

git-gui: Use gitattribute "encoding" for file content display
Most folks using git-gui on internationalized files have complained

which is wrong no matter how you look at it.
This really should be a per-file attribute, managed by .gitattributes,
so we now pull the "encoding" attribute data for the given path from
the .gitattributes (if available) and use that, falling back to UTF-8
if the attributes are unavailable, git-check-attr is broken, or an
encoding for this path not specified.
We apply the encoding anytime we show file content, which currently
is limited to only the diff viewer and the blame viewer.

git-gui: "Stage Line": Treat independent changes in adjacent lines better

Old state == HEAD Intermediate state New state

that is, want to commit two changes in this order:
1. transform "old 1" into "new 1"
2. transform "old 2" into "new 2"
[This discussion and this patch is about this very case and one other case
as outlined below; any other intermediate states that one could imagine are
not affected by this patch.]
Now assume further, that we have not staged and commited anything, but we
have already changed the working file to the new state. Then we will see
this hunk in the "Unstaged Changes":
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
context before
-old 1
-old 2
+new 1
+new 2
context after
The obvious way to stage the intermediate state is to apply "Stage This
Line" to "-old 1" and "+new 1". Unfortunately, this resulted in this
intermediate state:
context before
old 2
new 1
context after
which is not what we wanted. In fact, it was impossible to stage the
intermediate state using "Stage Line". The crux was that if a "+" line was
staged, then the "-" lines were converted to context lines and arranged
*before* the "+" line in the forged hunk that we fed to 'git apply'.
With this patch we now treat "+" lines that are staged differently. In
particular, the "-" lines before the "+" block are moved *after* the
staged "+" line. Now it is possible to get the correct intermediate state
by staging "-old 1" and "+new 1". Problem solved.
But there is a catch.
Noticing that we didn't get the right intermediate state by staging
"-old 1" and "+new 1", we could have had the idea to stage the complete
hunk and to *unstage* "-old 2" and "+new 2". But... the result is the same.
The reason is that there is the exact symmetric problem with unstaging the
last "-" and "+" line that are in adjacent blocks of "-" and "+" lines.
This patch does *not* change the way in which "-" lines are *unstaged*.
Why? Because if we did (i.e. move "+" lines before the "-" line after
converting them to context lines), then it would be impossible to stage
this intermediate state:
context before
old 1
new 2
context after
that is, it would be impossible to stage the two independet changes in the
opposite order.
Let's look at this case a bit further: The obvious way to get this
intermediate state would be to apply "Stage This Line" to "-old 2" and
"+new 2". Before this patch, this worked as expected. With this patch, it
does not work as expected, but it can still be achieved by first staging
the entire hunk, then *unstaging* "-old 1" and "+new 1".
In summary, this patch makes a common case possible, at the expense that
a less common case is made more complicated for the user.

This adds a context menu entry below "Stage/Unstage Hunk" that stages or
unstages just the line under the mouse pointer.
This is by itself useful, for example, if there are unrelated changes in
the same hunk and the hunk cannot be split by reducing the context.
The feature can also be used to split a hunk by staging a number of
additions (or unstaging a number of removals) until there are enough
context lines that the hunk gets split.
The implementation reads the complete hunk that the line lives in, and
constructs a new hunk by picking existing context lines, removing unneeded
change lines and transforming other change lines to context lines. The
resulting hunk is fed through 'git apply' just like in the "Stage/Unstage

so that a no argument git-pull on the command line pulls from the
remote repository's branch.

git-gui: Don't use '$$cr master' with aspell earlier than 0.60
Apparently aspell 0.50 does not recognize "$$cr master" as a command,
but instead tries to offer suggestions for how to correctly spell
the word "cr". This is not quite what we are after when we want
the name of the current dictionary.
Instead of locking up git-gui waiting for a response that may never
come back from aspell we avoid sending this command if the binary
we have started claims to be before version 0.60.

git-gui: Report less precise object estimates for database compression
On startup, git-gui warns if there are many loose objects. It does so by
saying, e.g., that there are "approximately 768 loose objects". But isn't
"768" a very accurate number? Lets say "750", which (while still being a
very precise number) sounds much more like an estimation.

git-gui: use +/- instead of ]/[ to show more/less context in diff
On some systems, brackets cannot be used as event details
(they don't have a keysym), so use +/- instead (both on
keyboard and keypad) and add ctrl-= as a synonym of ctrl-+
for convenience.
[sp: Had to change accelerator to show only "$M1T-="; the
original version included "$M1T-+ $M1T-=" but this is
not drawn at all on Mac OS X.]

git-gui: Improve directions regarding POT update in po/README
Keeping POT up to date relative to the software is absolutely
necessary. What is unwarranted is updating language files at
the same time by running msgmerge without checking if there is
any outstanding translation work first. If we assume that the
translators do not have access to msgmerge, that is a good service
to them (the less they have to do, the better), but otherwise,
it is better to be leave po/${language}.po files alone.

Peter Karlsson pointed out there is no value in translating the
string "Apple", as this is used as the dummy label for the Apple
menu on Mac OS X systems.
The Apple menu is actually not the menu with the Apple corporate
logo, but the menu next to it, which shows the name of the
application and is typically called the application menu. Most users
of git-gui see this menu titled as "Git Gui". The actual label of
this menu comes from our Info.plist file and cannot be specified
by any other means. Translating this string in the Tcl PO files
is not necessary.
