git-gui: Don't kill modified commit message buffer with merge templates
If the user is in the middle of a merge and has already started to
modify their commit message we were losing the user's changes when
they pressed 'Rescan' after resolving issues or making changes in
the working directory.
The problem here was our background timer that saves the commit
message buffer. It marks the commit message buffer as not being
modified when it writes it out to disk, so during the rescan we
assumed the buffer should be replaced with what we read from the
MERGE_MSG file. So we now only read these files from .git if we
have a valid backup file. Since we clear it on commit this will
only have an impact while the user is actively editing the current
commit.

This fixes the problem reported by Brian Downing where searching for
a string that doesn't exist would give a Tcl error. The basic problem
was that we weren't reading the data for the last commit since it
wasn't terminated with a null. This effectively adds a null on the end
(if there isn't one already) to make sure we process the last commit.
This also makes the yellow background behind instances of the search
string appear more consistently, and fixes a bug where the "/" key
would just find the same commit again and again instead of advancing.
When squashing, you no longer saw what the editor had to say to you
after commit 'Shut "git rebase -i" up when no --verbose was given'
(if you used a console based editor, at least).

git_mkstemp(): be careful not to overflow the path buffer.
If user's TMPDIR is insanely long, return negative after
setting errno to ENAMETOOLONG, pretending that the underlying
mkstemp() choked on a temporary file path that is too long.
When locking in a symlinked repository, try to lock the original.
In a working tree prepared in new-workdir (in contrib/), some files in .git/
directory are symbolic links to the original repository. The usual sequence of
lock-write-rename would break the symbolic link.
Ideally we should resolve relative symbolic link with maxdepth, but I do not
want to risk too elaborate patch before 1.5.3 release, so this is a minimum
and trivially obvious fix. new-workdir creates its symbolic links absolute,
and does not link from a symlinked workdir, so this fix should suffice for now.

git-submodule module_name: avoid using unwieldy "value_regexp" feature.
"module_name $path" function wants to look up a configuration
variable "submodule.<modulename>.path" whose value is $path, and
return the <modulename> found. "git-config --get-regexp" is the
natural thing to use for this, but (1) its value matching has an
unfortunate "feature" that takes leading '!' specially, and (2)
its output needs to be parsed with sed to extract <modulename>
part anyway.
This changes the call to "git-config --get-regexp" not to use
the value-regexp part, and moves the "pick the one whose value
is $path" part to the downstream sed.
We say "SUBDIRECTORY_OK" but we did not chdir to toplevel; this
is fine as long as everything we use can be started from a
subdirectory, but unfortunately "merge-recursive" is not one of
the programs you can safely use from a subdirectory.
git-gui: Remove usernames from absolute SSH urls during merging
If we are being asked to merge a tracking branch that comes from a
remote repository accessed by the very common SSH URL format of
"user@host:/path/to/repo" then we really don't need the username
as part of the merge message, it only clutters up the history and
makes things more confusing. So we instead clip the username part
off if the local filesystem path is absolute, as its probably not
going to be an ambiguous URL even when it is missing the username.
On the other hand we cannot clip the username off if the URL is
not absolute, because in such cases (e.g. "user@host:myrepo") the
directory that the repository path is resolved in is relative to
the user's home directory, and the username becomes important.

git-gui: Format tracking branch merges as though they were pulls
If we are merging a tracking branch we know exactly what remote URL
that branch is fetched from, and what its name is on that remote
repository. In this case we can setup a merge message that looks
just like a standard `git-pull $remote $branch` operation by filling
out FETCH_HEAD before we start git-merge, and then run git-merge just
like git-pull does.
I think the result of this behavior is that merges look a lot nicer
when the came off of local tracking branches, because they no longer
say "commit 'origin/...'" to describe the commit being merged but
instead now mention the specific repository we fetched those commits
from.

git-gui: Show ref last update times in revision chooser tooltips
If we can we now show the last modification date of a loose ref as
part of the tooltip information shown in the revision picker. This
gives the user an indication of when was the last time that the ref
was modified locally, and may especially be of interest when looking
at a tracking branch.
If we cannot find the loose ref file than we try to fallback on the
reflog and scan it for the date of the last record. We don't start
with the reflog however as scanning it backwards from the end is not
an easy thing to do in Tcl. So I'm being lazy here and just going
through the entire file, line by line. Since that is less efficient
than a single stat system call, its our fallback strategy.

git-gui: Display commit/tag/remote info in tooltip of revision picker
Our revision chooser mega-widget now sets up tooltips for itself so

ref list. If the item is from a remote tracking branch then we also
show the remote url and what branch on that remote we fetch from, so
the user has a clear concept of where that revision data originated.
To help the merge dialog I've also added a new constructor that
makes the dialog only offer unmerged revisions (those not in HEAD),
as this allows users to avoid performing merges only to get "Already
up to date" messages back from core Git.

gitk: Wait for the window to become visible after creating it
When the git log process returned an error immediately, we were
sometimes getting no main window and no error window displayed,
with the gitk process just hanging waiting for something. It appears
that the tkwait in show_error, which waits for the error window to

This adds a wait in the main startup code after the main window
has been created to wait until it is visible. This seems to fix the
problem.
git-gui: Avoid unnecessary symbolic-ref call during checkout
If we are checking out the branch we are already on then there is no
need to call symbolic-ref to update the HEAD pointer to the "new"
branch name, it is already correct.
Currently this situation does not happen very often, but it can be
seen in some workflows where the user always recreates their local
branch from a remote tracking branch and more-or-less ignores what
branch he/she is on right now. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
This case will however become a tad more common when we overload
checkout_op to actually also perform all of our merges. In that
case we will likely see that the branch we want to "checkout" is
the current branch, as we are actually just merging into it.

gitweb: Fix support for legacy gitweb config for snapshots
Earlier commit which cleaned up snapshot support and introduced
support for multiple snapshot formats changed the format of
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} (gitweb configuration) and
gitweb.snapshot configuration variable (repository configuration).
It supported old gitweb.snapshot values of 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'zip'
and tried to support, but failed to do that, old values of
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'}; at least those corresponding to
old gitweb.snapshot values of 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'zip', i.e.
['x-gzip', 'gz', 'gzip']
['x-bzip2', 'bz2', 'bzip2']
['x-zip', 'zip', '']
This commit moves legacy configuration support out of feature_snapshot
subroutine to separate filter_snapshot_fmts subroutine. The
filter_snapshot_fmts is used on result on result of
gitweb_check_feature('snapshot'). This way feature_snapshot deals
_only_ with repository config.
As a byproduct you can now use 'gzip' and 'bzip2' as aliases to 'tgz'
and 'tbz2' also in $feature{'snapshot'}{'default'}, not only in
gitweb.snapshot.
While at it do some whitespace cleanup: use tabs for indent, but

gitweb: snapshot cleanups & support for offering multiple formats
- Centralize knowledge about snapshot formats (mime types, extensions,
commands) in %known_snapshot_formats and improve how some of that
information is specified. In particular, zip files are no longer a
special case.
- Add support for offering multiple snapshot formats to the user so
that he/she can download a snapshot in the format he/she prefers.
The site-wide or project configuration now gives a list of formats
to offer, and if more than one format is offered, the "_snapshot_"
link becomes something like "snapshot (_tar.bz2_ _zip_)".
- If only one format is offered, a tooltip on the "_snapshot_" link
tells the user what it is.
- Fix out-of-date "tarball" -> "archive" in comment.
Alert for gitweb site administrators: This patch changes the format of
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} in gitweb_config.perl from a list of
three pieces of information about a single format to a list of one or
more formats you wish to offer from the set ('tgz', 'tbz2', 'zip').
Update your gitweb_config.perl appropriately. There was taken care
for old-style gitweb configuration to work as it used to, but this
backward compatibility works only for the values which correspond to
gitweb.snapshot values of 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'zip', i.e.
['x-gzip', 'gz', 'gzip']
['x-bzip2', 'bz2', 'bzip2']
['x-zip', 'zip', '']
The preferred names for gitweb.snapshot in repository configuration
have also changed from 'gzip' and 'bzip2' to 'tgz' and 'tbz2', but

git-gui: Automatically backup the user's commit buffer
A few users have been seeing crashes in Tk when using the undo key
binding to undo the last few keystroke events in the commit buffer.
Unfortunately that means the user loses their commit message and
must start over from scratch when the user restarts the process.
git-gui now saves the user's commit message buffer every couple of
seconds to a temporary file under .git (specifically .git/GITGUI_BCK).
At exit time we rename this file to .git/GITGUI_MSG if there is a
message, the file exists, and it is currently synchronized with the
Tk buffer. Otherwise we do our usual routine of saving the Tk buffer
to .git/GITGUI_MSG and delete .git/GITGUI_BCK, if it exists.
During startup we favor .git/GITGUI_BCK over .git/GITGUI_MSG. This
way a crash doesn't take out the user's message buffer but instead
will cause the user to lose only a few keystrokes. Most people do
not type more than 200 WPM, and with 30 possible saves per minute
we are unlikely to lose more than 7 words.

git-gui: Completely remove support for creating octopus merges

In that refactoring I plan on using the choose_rev widget to allow

However since that only selects a single commit I'm first removing
the code that supports octopus merges.
A brief consultation on #git tonight seemed to indicate that the
octopus merge strategy is not as useful as originally thought when
it was invented, and that most people don't commonly use them. So

Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,

Despite that, it's often the case that email addresses etc still have
Latin1, so I've seen emails where this is a mixed bag, with Signed-off
parts being copied from email (and containing Latin1 characters), and the
rest of the email being a patch in UTF-8.
So this suggests a very natural change: if the target character set is
utf-8 (the default), and if the source already looks like utf-8, just
assume that it doesn't need any conversion at all.
Only assume that it needs conversion if it isn't already valid utf-8, in
which case we (for historical reasons) will assume it's Latin1.
Basically no really _valid_ latin1 will ever look like utf-8, so while
this changes our historical behaviour, it doesn't do so in practice, and
makes the default behaviour saner for the case where the input was already
in proper format.
We could do a more fancy guess, of course, but this correctly handled a
series of patches I just got from Andrew that had a mixture of Latin1 and
UTF-8 (in different emails, but without any character set indication).

unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during check-out
In particular, when moving back to a commit without a given submodule
and then moving back forward to a commit with the given submodule,
we shouldn't complain that updating would lose untracked file in
the submodule, because git currently does not checkout subprojects
during superproject check-out.

For the html output we can use a stylesheet to make sure that the
listingblocks are presented in a monospaced font. For the manpages do
it manually by inserting a ".ft C" before and ".ft" after the block in
question.
In order for these roff commands to get through to the manpage they
have to be element encoded to prevent quoting.

git-p4: Fix upstream branch detection for submit/rebase with multiple branches.
Don't use git name-rev to locate the upstream git-p4 branch for rebase and submit but instead locate the branch by comparing the depot paths.
name-rev may produce results like wrongbranch~12 as it uses the first match.

When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A
and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or
symlink at A, we prefer to remove it.
We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2),
and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried
another mkdir(2).
Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris
for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it
allowed to unlink a directory.
As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call
"unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's
fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is
"fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's
true of any application that gets run as root).

I've found that the class code makes it a whole lot easier to create
more complex GUI code, especially the dialogs. So before I make any
major improvements to the merge dialog's interface I'm going to first
switch it to use the class system, so the code is slightly cleaner.

git-gui: Increase the default height of the revision picker
Showing only five lines of heads/tags is not very useful to a user
when they have about 10 branches that match the filter expression.
The list is just too short to really be able to read easily, at
least not without scrolling up and down. Expanding the list out
to 10 really makes the revision picker easier to read and access,
as you can read the matching branches much more quickly.

git-gui: Clarify the visualize history menu options
Users who are new to Git may not realize that visualizing things in
a repository involves looking at history. Adding in a small amount
of text to the menu items really helps to understand what the action
might do, before you invoke it.

git-gui: Allow users to browse any branch, not just the current one
We now allow users to pick which commit they want to browse through
our revision picking mega-widget. This opens up in a dialog first,
and then opens a tree browser for that selected commit. It is a very
simple approach and requires minimal code changes.
I also clarified the language a bit in the Repository menu, to show
that these actions will access files. Just in case a user is not
quite sure what specific action they are looking for, but they know
they want some sort of file thing.

git-gui: Allow browser subcommand to start in subdirectory
Like our blame subcommand the browser subcommand now accepts both
a revision and a path, just a revision or just a path. This way
the user can start the subcommand on any branch, or on any subtree.

git-gui: Allow blame/browser subcommands on bare repositories
A long time ago Linus Torvalds tried to run git-gui on a bare
repository to look at the blame viewer, but it failed to start
because we required that the user run us only from within a
working directory that had a normal git repository associated
with it.
This change relaxes that requirement so that you can start the
tree browser or the blame viewer against a bare repository. In
the latter case we do require that you provide a revision and a
pathname if we cannot find the pathname in the current working
directory.

git-gui: Move feature option selection before GIT_DIR init
By moving our feature option determination up before we look for GIT_DIR
we can make a decision about whether or not we need a working tree up
front, before we look for GIT_DIR. A future change could then allow
us to start in a bare Git repository if we only need access to the ODB.
