This new fix makes the strings "Sorry, gitk cannot run..." and "OK"
translatable and the string "mc" not translatable. It will take effect
the next time `make update-po` is run.
msgcat is now imported before the Tcl/Tk version check so that the mc
function is available even if the version check fails. This should not
be a problem because msgcat and ::msgcat::mc were officially added in
Tcl 8.1 (released April 29, 1999) and we are not trying to support
versions of Tcl older than that.

gitk: Fix error when changing colors after closing "List references" window
This fixes an error that manifests itself if the user opens the
"List references" window and the closes it, and subsequently opens
the Preferences window and changes one of the colors. When the
user clicks OK, and error popup appears with the message:
Error: invalid command name ".showrefs.list"
This is because .showrefs.list was added to the list of windows to
be notified on foreground/background color changes, but the window
no longer exists. We fix the bug by checking whether the window
exists before trying to change its colors. As an optimization, we
also avoid adding the .showrefs.list window to the list a second
time.
gitk: Remove tcl-format flag from a message that shouldn't have it
xgettext sees "% o" and interprets it as a placeholder for an octal
number preceded by a space. However, in this case it's not actually a
placeholder, and most translations will replace the "% o" sequence with
something else. Removing the tcl-format flag from this string prevents
tools like Poedit from freaking out when "% o" doesn't appear in the
translated string.
The corrected flag will appear in each translation's po file the next time
the translation is updated with `make update-po`.

"git log --grep=<string>" shows only commits with messages that
match the given string, but sometimes it is useful to be able to
show only commits that do *not* have certain messages (e.g. "show
me ones that are not FIXUP commits").
Now the underlying "git log" learned the "--invert-grep" option.
The option syntactically behaves similar to "--all-match" that
requires that all of the grep strings to match and semantically
behaves the opposite---it requires that none of the grep strings to
match.

If several gitk instances are closed simultaneously, the savestuff
procedure can run at the same time, resulting in a conflict which may
cause losing of some of the instance's changes, failing the saving
operation or even corrupting the configuration file. This can happen,
for example, at user session closing, or at group closing of all
instances of an application which is possible in some desktop
environments.
To avoid this, make sure that only one saving operation is in
progress. It is guarded by existence of the $config_file_tmp
file. Creating the file and moving it to $config_file are both atomic
operations, so it should be reliable.
Reading does not need to be syncronized, because moving is an atomic
operation, and the $config_file always refers to a full and correct file.
But, if there is a stale $config_file_tmp file, report it at gitk start.
If such file is detected when saving, just report it abort the save, as
for other errors in saving.

When gitk contains some changed parameter, and there is an existing
instance of gitk where the parameter is still old, it is reverted to
that old value when that instance exits.
Instead, store a parameter in config only if it has been modified in
the exiting instance. Otherwise, preserve the value which currently is in
file. This allows editing the configuration when several instances are
running, without rollback of the modification if some other
instance where the configuration was not edited is closed last.
For scalar variables, use trace(3tcl) to detect their change. Since
`trace` can send bogus events, doublecheck if the value has really
been changed, but once it is marked as changed, do not reset it back
to unchanged ever, because if user has restored the original value,
it's the decision which should be stored as well as modified value.
Treat view list especially: instead of rewriting the whole list, merge
individual views. Place old and updated views in their old places,
add new ones to the end of list. Collect modified views explicitly, in
newviewok{} and delview{}.
Do not merge geometry values. They are almost always changing because
user moves and resises windows, and there is no way to find which one of
the geometries is most desired. Just overwrite them unconditionally,
like earlier.

If HEAD is detached, 'gitk --all' does not show it. This is inconvenient
for frontend program, and for example git log does show the detached HEAD.
gitk uses git rev-parse to find a list of branches to show.
Apparently, the command does not include detached HEAD to output if
--all argument is specified. This has been discussed in [1] and stated
as expected behavior. So rev-parse's parameters should be tuned in gitk.

When a commit has many tags, the tag icons in the graph display can
easily become so wide as to push the commit message off the right-hand
edge of the graph display pane. This changes the display so that if
there are more than 3 tags or they would take up more than a quarter
of the width of the pane, we instead display a single tag icon with
a legend inside it like "4 tags...". If the user clicks on the tag
icon, gitk then displays all the tags in the diff display pane.
On OSX, Tcl/Tk application windows are created behind all

The drop-down lists used for things like the criteria for finding
commits (containing/touching paths/etc.) use a combobox if we are
using the ttk widgets. By default the combobox exports its value
as the selection when it is changed, which is unnecessary, and sometimes
the combobox wouldn't release the selection, which is annoying.
To fix this, we make these comboboxes not export their selection,
and also clear their selection whenever they are changed. This makes
them more like a simple selection of alternatives, improving the look
and feel of gitk.
The Preferences dialog gives control of the colors of some elements of
the gitk user interface, but many are hard-coded in the gitk script.
In order to allow these to be customized through the gitk config
file, these other colors are stored in variables which can be set
in the config file, thus providing a way for color schemes to be stored
and shared.
For win32, this makes the default foreground color that of window text

gitk: Display important heads even when there are many
When there are more than $maxrefs descendant heads to display in the
Branches field of the commit display, we currently just display "many",
which is not very informative. To make the display more informative,
we now look for "master" and whichever head is currently checked out,
and display them even if there are too many heads to display them all.
The display then looks like "Branches: master and many more (33)" for
instance.
gitk: Improve display of list of nearby tags and heads
This provides a control in the preferences pane for the limit on
how many tags or heads are displayed with the commit details under
the Branch(es), Precedes and Follows headings. This limit is now
saved in ~/.gitk so that changes are persistent.
This also applies word-wrapping to the list of tags or heads under
the Branch, Precedes and Follows headings, so that long lists are
more readable.
Sometimes the code that divides commits up into arcs creates two
successive arcs, but the commit between them (the commit at the end
of the first arc and the beginning of the second arc) has only one
parent and one child. If that commit is also the head of one or more
branches, those branches get omitted from the "Branches" field in the
commit display.
The omission occurs because the commit gets erroneously identified as
a commit which is part-way along an arc in [descheads]. This fixes it
by changing the test to look at the arcouts array, which only contains
elements for the commits at the start or end of an arc.

When configured not to use themed widgets gitk may crash on launch with
a message that says that the image "bm-left disabled bm-left-gray"
doesn't exist. This happens when the left and right arrow buttons are
created.
The crash can be avoided by configuring the buttons differently
depending on whether or not themed widgets are used. If themed widgets
are not used then only set the images to bm-left and bm-right
respectively, and keep the old behavior when themed widgets are used.
The previous behaviour was added in f062e50f to work around a bug in Tk
on OS X where the disabled state did not display properly. The buttons
may still not display correctly, however the workaround added in f062e50f will still apply if gitk is used with themed widgets.

gitk: Synchronize highlighting in file view when scrolling diff
Whenever the diff pane scrolls, highlight the corresponding file in the
file list on the right. For a large commit with many files and long
per-file diffs, this makes it easier to keep track of what you're looking
at.
This allows simplifying the prevfile and nextfile functions, because
all they have to do is scroll the diff pane.
In some situations we want to suppress this mechanism, for example when
clicking on a file in the file list to select it, or when searching in the
diff, in which case we want to highlight based on the current search hit
and not the top line visible. In these cases it's not sufficient to set
a "suppress" flag before scrolling and reset it afterwards, because the
scrolltext notification is sent deferred from a timer or some such; so we
need to remember the scroll position for which we want to suppress the
auto-highlighting until the next call to scrolltext; a bit ugly, but does
the job.

gitk: Add menu items for comparing a commit with the marked commit
Sometimes one wants to see the different between two commits that are
a long distance apart in the graph display. This is difficult to do
with the "Diff this -> selected" and "Diff selected -> this" menu
items because the need to maintain the selection means that one can't
use the find facilities or the reference list window to navigate from
one to the other.
This provides an alternative using the mark. Having found one commit,
one marks it with the "Mark this commit" menu item, then navigates to
the other commit and uses the new "Diff this -> marked commit" and/or
"Diff marked commit -> this" menu items.
On large repositories such as the Linux kernel, it can take quite a
noticeable time (several seconds) for gitk to resolve short SHA1 IDs
to their long form. This speeds up the process by maintaining lists
of IDs indexed by the first 4 characters of the SHA1 ID, speeding up
the search by a factor of 65536 on large repositories.
gitk: Use symbolic font names "sans" and "monospace" when available
The following only concerns systems using X and the client-side font
rendering framework from freedesktop.org. Windows and Mac OS X are
not affected.
Starting with version 8.5, Tk uses freetype and fontconfig by default
to render fonts on platforms that support it. Gitk currently defaults
to the font Helvetica for the interface and Courier for diffs, and
both unfortunately look rather bad on screen in the default
configuration on many Linux distros with anti-aliasing and poor
hinting.
It is better to default to "sans" and "monospace", which are mapped by
fontconfig to some appropriate font of the sysadmin and user's
choosing (typically Bitstream Vera Sans and Mono). The result looks
more sensible and it makes gitk feel like a well-behaved software
citizen since its fonts match other native apps.
This patch does not change the appearance of gitk for users that have
already run it, since gitk uses the remembered UI and diff font names
from ~/.gitk.

commits produces utterly confusing results to the vi user, as 'k'

gitk: Make "touching paths" search support backslashes
Gitk can search for commits touching a specified path. The search text is
always treated as a regular expression, regardless of the matching option
selected (Exact, IgnCase, or Regexp). In particular, backslashes escape
the next character. This is inconvenient on Windows systems, where backslashes
are the norm for path specifiers, for example when copy/pasting from
Windows Explorer or a cmd shell -- these copy-pasted paths must be manually
modified in the gitk search text edit box before they will work.
This change uses the match option "Exact" to mean that a slash is a slash,
not part of a regular expression. Backslashes are converted to frontslashes
before searching, thus allowing easy copy/pasting of paths on Windows
systems. If the previous behaviour of "touching paths" search is desired,
simply select the "Regexp" search mode.
One potential drawback is that the default setting for the match option
($findtype in the code) is "Exact", and so this change alters the default
behaviour, which may confuse users and lead to bug reports.

"git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree" is currently used to determine
whether to show modified files in gitk (the red and green fake
commits). This does not work if the current directory is not inside
the work tree, as can be the case e.g. if GIT_WORK_TREE is
set. Instead, check if the repository is not bare and that we are not
inside the .git directory.

Since 5024baa ([PATCH] Make gitk work when launched in a subdirectory,
2007-01-09), gitk has used 'git rev-parse --git-dir' to find the .git
directory. However, gitk still first checks for the $GIT_DIR
environment variable and that the value returned from git-rev-parse
does not point to a file. Since git-rev-parse does both of these
checks already, the checks can safely be removed from gitk. This makes
the gitdir procedure small enough to inline.
This cleanup introduces a UI regression in that the error message will
now be "Cannot find a git repository here." even in the case where
GIT_DIR points to a file, for which the error message was previously
"Cannot find the git directory \"%s\".". It should be noted, though,
that even before this patch, 'gitk --git-dir=path/to/some/file' would
give the former error message.

It seems like gitk has been setting the global variable 'gitdir' at
startup since aa81d97 (gitk: Fix Update menu item, 2006-02-28). It
should therefore no longer be necessary to call the procedure with the
same name (more than once to set the global variable). Remove the
other call sites and use the global variable instead.

When running "External diff" from gitk, the "from" and "to" files will
first be copied into a directory that is currently
".git/../.gitk-tmp.$pid". When gitk is closed, the directory is
deleted. When the work tree is not at ".git/.." (which is supported
since the previous commit), that directory may not even be git-related
and it does not seem unlikely that permissions may not allow the
temporary directory to be created there. Move the directory inside
.git instead.
This introduces a regression in the case that the .git directory
is readonly, but .git/.. is writeable.

Running "External diff" to compare the index and work tree currently
brings up an empty blame view when the work tree is not the parent of
the git directory. This is because the file that is taken from the
work tree is assumed to be in
$GIT_DIR/../<repo-relative-file-name>. Fix it by feeding the diff tool
a path under $GIT_WORK_TREE instead of "$GIT_DIR/..".

gitk: Fix "blame parent commit" with separate work tree

The "highlight this only" and "highlight this too" commands in gitk
add the path relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE to the "Find" input box. When
the search (using git-diff-tree) is run, the paths are used
unmodified, except for some shell escaping. Since the search is run
from gitk's working directory, no commits matching the paths will be
found if gitk was started in a subdirectory.
Make the paths passed to git-diff-tree relative to gitk's working
directory instead of being relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE. If, however,
gitk is run outside of the working directory (e.g. with $GIT_WORK_TREE
set), we still need to use the path relative to $GIT_WORK_TREE.

gitk: Remember time zones from author and commit timestamps
When resolving a conflicted cherry-pick, this lets us pass
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE to git citool with the correct timezone.
It does this by making elements 2 and 4 of the commitinfo array
entries, which store the author and committer dates of the commit,
be 2-element lists storing the numerical date and timezone offset,
rather than just the numerical date.

Commit 981ff5c37ae20687c98d98c8689d5e89016026d2 changed the error
message from git cherry-pick from
Automatic cherry-pick failed. [...advice...]
to
error: could not apply 7ab78c9... Do something neat.
[...advice...]
Update gitk’s regex to match this, restoring the ability to launch git
citool to resolve conflicted cherry-picks.
