Our file browser was showing bad output as it did not properly buffer
a partial record when read from `ls-tree -z`. This did not show up on
my Mac OS X system as most trees are small, the pipe buffers generally
big and `ls-tree -z` was generally fast enough that all data was ready
before Tcl started to read. However on my Cygwin system one of my
production repositories had a large enough tree and packfile that it
took a couple of pipe buffers for `ls-tree -z` to complete its dump.

This is based on patches from Linus Torvalds and Junio Hamano, so the
ideas here are theirs.
This makes gitk use "git log -z --pretty=raw" instead of "git rev-list"
to generate the list of commits, and also makes it grok the "<" and ">"
markers that git log (and git rev-list) output with the --left-right
flag to indicate which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable
from. Left-side commits are drawn with a triangle pointing leftwards
instead of a circle, and right-side commits are drawn with a triangle
pointing rightwards. The commitlisted list is used to store the
left/right information as well as the information about whether each
commit is on the boundary.

If we cannot locate a .exe for a git tool that we want to run than
it may just be a Bourne shell script as these are popular in Git.
In such a case the first line of the file will say "#!/bin/sh" so
a UNIX kernel knows what program to start to parse and run that.
But Windows doesn't support shbang lines, and neither does the Tcl
that comes with Cygwin.
We can pass control off to the git wrapper as that is a real Cygwin
program and can therefore start the Bourne shell script, but that is
at least two fork+exec calls to get the program running. One to do
the fork+exec of the git wrapper and another to start the Bourne shell
script. If the program is run multiple times it is rather expensive
as the magic shbang detection won't be cached across executions.
On MinGW/MSYS we don't have the luxury of such magic detection. The
MSYS team has taught some of this magic to the git wrapper, but again
its slower than it needs to be as the git wrapper must still go and
run the Bourne shell after it is called.
We now attempt to guess the shbang line on Windows by reading the
first line of the file and building our own command line path from
it. Currently we support Bourne shell (sh), Perl and Python. That
is the entire set of shbang lines that appear in git.git today.

We know that the version subcommand of git is special. It does not

If we cannot locate a command in $gitexecdir on our own then it may

The master Makefile in git.git installs gitk into bindir, not
gitexecdir, which means gitk is located as a sibling of the git
wrapper and not as though it were a git helper tool.
We can also avoid some Tcl concat operations by letting eval do
all of the heavy lifting; we have two proper Tcl lists ($cmd and

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want
to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do
symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we
found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some
cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32.
While I was working on this change I also converted all of our
existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper
functions. These functions take additional options like --nice
and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like
running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available)
or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

Sometimes switching between branches can take more than a second or
two, in which case `git checkout` would normally have shown a small
progress meter to the user on the terminal to let them know that we
are in fact working, and give them a reasonable idea of when we may
finish.
We now do obtain that progress meter from read-tree -v and include
it in our main window's status bar. This allows users to see how
many files we have checked out, how many remain, and what percentage
of the operation is completed. It should help to keep users from

This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between
branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like
core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our
new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update
as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a
very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently).
Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we
use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool)
to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local
branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of
the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge
repositories.
Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option
in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the
obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch
by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local
branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered.

Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started

intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.
If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

ui_status $msg; # Sets the status bar to show $msg.
ui_ready; # Changes the status bar to show "Ready."

with this message once we are done processing a block of work and

If the current branch is not a symbolic-ref that points to a

One of my production repositories has hundreds of remote tracking
branches. Trying to navigate these through a popup menu is just
not possible. The list is far larger than the screen and it does
not scroll fast enough to efficiently select a branch name when
trying to create a branch or delete a branch.
This is major rewrite of the revision chooser mega-widget. We
now use a single listbox for all three major types of named refs
(heads, tracking branches, tags) and a radio button group to pick
which of those namespaces should be shown in the listbox. A filter
field is shown to the right allowing the end-user to key in a glob
specification to filter the list they are viewing. The filter is
always taken as substring, so we assume * both starts and ends the
pattern the user wanted but otherwise treat it as a glob pattern.
This new picker works out really nicely. What used to take me at
least a minute to find and select a branch now takes mere seconds.

If the user elects to create a local branch that has the same name
as an existing branch and we can fast-forward the local branch to
the selected revision we might as well do the fast-forward for the
user, rather than making them first switch to the branch then merge
the selected revision into it. After all, its really just a fast
forward. No history is lost. The resulting branch checkout may
also be faster if the branch we are switching from is closer to
the new revision.
Likewise we also now allow the user to reset the local branch if
it already exists but would not fast-forward. However before we
do the actual reset we tell the user what commits they are going to
lose by showing the oneline subject and abbreviated sha1, and we also
let them inspect the range of commits in gitk.

Most people using Git 1.5.x and later are using the newer style
of remotes layout where all of their tracking branches are in
refs/remotes and refs/heads contains only the user's own local
branches.
In such a situation we can avoid calling is_tracking_branch
for each head we are considering because we know that all of
the heads must be local branches if no fetch option or Pull:
line maps a branch into that namespace.
If however any remote maps a remote branch into a local
tracking branch that resides in refs/heads we do exactly
what we did before, which requires scanning through all
fetch lines in case any patterns are matched.
I also switched some regexp/regsub calls to string match
as this can be a faster operation for prefix matching.

Its handy to be able to ask an object to do something for you by
handing it a subcommand. For example if we want to get the value
of an object's private field the object could expose a method that
would return that value. Application level code can then invoke
"$inst get" to perform the method call.
Tk uses this pattern for all of its widgets, so we'd certainly
like to use it for our own mega-widgets that we might develop.
Up until now we haven't needed such functionality, but I'm working
on a new revision picker mega-widget that would benefit from it.
To make this work we have to change the definition of $this to
actually be a procedure within the namespace. By making $this a
procedure any caller that has $this can call subcommands by passing
them as the first argument to $this. That subcommand then needs
to call the proper subroutine.
Placing the dispatch procedure into the object's variable namespace
ensures that it will always be deleted when the object is deleted.
