If the user creates a tag with the "create tag" dialog in gitk and
then clicks on the newly-created tag, its contents don't get
displayed. The reason is that rereadrefs hasn't been called, meaning
the tag doesn't exist in $tagobjid. This causes the cat-file to fail.
Instead of using $tagobjid, pass the $tag directly, ensuring the tag
contents are populated correctly.

Currently, tags created using the "create tag" dialog in gitk are
always lightweight tags, i.e., they don't have any annotation
(message). This enables the user to specify a message; if they do,
gitk will create an unsigned, annotated tag object.

Replace refs are useful to change some git objects after they
have started to be shared between different repositories. One
might want to ignore them to see the original state, and
"--no-replace-objects" option can be used from the command
line to do so.
This option simply sets the GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment
variable, and that is enough to make gitk ignore replace refs.
The GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS is set to "1" instead of "" as it is
safer on some platforms, thanks to Johannes Sixt and Michael J
Gruber.

When run in the top-level directory of a git repository, "git
rev-parse --git-dir" doesn't return an absolute path, but merely
".git", so the selected file for "git gui blame" has a relative path.
The function make_relative then tries to make the already relative
path relative, which results in a path like "../../../../Makefile"
with as many ".." as there are elements of [pwd].
This regression was introduced by commit 9712b81 (gitk: Fix bugs in
blaming code, 2008-12-06), which fixed "git gui blame" when called from
subdirs.
This also fixes it for bare repositories.

At the command line, trying to check out a remote branch gives you a
detailed warning message, but the gitk GUI currently allows it without

Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it
seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line,
not less.
This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.

Commit 5497f7a23a ("gitk: Add configuration
for UI colour scheme") added a call to tk_setPalette at startup.
Unfortunately, tk_setPalette always chooses a dark red color for
the selectColor value if none is given explicitly, and this makes
checkbuttons and radiobuttons look rather bad.
This restores the previous appearance by specifying selectColor
explicitly. For light backgrounds we use white for selectColor, and
for dark backgrounds we use black. The formula and threshold for
distinguishing light from dark are the same as used in tk_setPalette
for choosing the foreground color.

When displaying diffs in a submodule, this makes gitk display the
headlines of the commits being diffed, instead of just showing
not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs, if the underlying git installation
supports this. That makes it much easier to evaluate the changes, as
it eliminates the need to start a gitk inside the submodule and use
the superprojects hashes there to find out what the commits are about.
Since the --submodule option of git diff is new in git version 1.6.6,
this only uses the --submodule option when a git version of 1.6.6 or
higher is detected.

When comparing a string of commits, when we find two non-merge commits
that differ, we now write the two commits to files and diff the files.
This pulls out the logic for creating a temporary directory from
external_diff into a separate procedure so that the new diffcommits
procedure can use it.
Because the diff command returns an exit status of 1 when the files
differ, and Tcl treats that as an error, this adds catch {} around the
close statements in getblobdiffline.
At present this only removes the temporary files when gitk exits. It
should remove them when the diff is done.

We only accepted either SHA1s or heads/tags that have been read. This
meant the user could not, e.g., enter HEAD to go back to the current
commit.
This adds code to call out to git rev-parse --verify if all other
methods of interpreting the string the user entered fail.
(git-rev-parse alone is not enough as we really want a single
revision.)
The error paths change slighly, because we now know from the rev-parse
invocation whether the expression was valid at all. The previous
"unknown" path is now only triggered if the revision does exist, but
is not in the current view display.

ee66e08 (gitk: Make updates go faster, 2008-05-09) implemented an
optimized mode where gitk parses the arguments with rev-parse, and
manually reads history in chunks. As mentioned in the commit message,
symmetric differences are a problem there:
One wrinkle is that we have to turn symmetric diff arguments (of the
form a...b) back into symmetric diff form so that --left-right still
works, as git rev parse turns a...b into a b ^merge_base(a,b).
However, git-rev-parse returns a...b in the swapped order
b a ^merge_base(a,b)
This has been the case since at least 1f8115b (the state of master at
the time of the abovementioned ee66e08; Merge branch 'maint',
2008-05-08). So gitk flipped the sides of symmetric differences
whenever it was in optimized mode.
Fix this by swapping the sides of the reconstruction code.

For the most part gitk's focus is on showing history and changes in

drivers are used if they are defined.

This fixes a bug in the compare-commits function added in commit
010509f2 ("gitk: Add a command to compare two strings of commits")
where gitk would show an error dialog if the comparison of commits
got to a fake commit (one showing local changes). It extends
getpatchid to handle these fake commits by using [diffcmd] to get
the git diff command variant to use, and also handles the situation
where an error occurs.
Now that we can have the fake commit IDs showing up, which are
00..00 and 00..01, the short ID is ambiguous. To make sure the links
point to the right commit, this adds a new [appendshortlink] procedure
which takes the full link destination, and uses that rather than
appendwithlinks.

This adds a row context menu command to compare this commit and its
descendants with the marked commit and its descendants. The results
are shown in the bottom-left pane. Commits are compared by checking
whether their headlines are the same and their patches have the same
patch ID as generated by git patch-id.
Merges are ignored and skipped over (as long as they have one
descendant). If two commits have the same patch ID then the process
will continue and compare their descendants, as long as they both have
exactly one descendant. If either commit has 0 or 2 or more descendants,
the comparison stops there. There is currently a limit of 100
comparisons.
This can be useful for checking whether one string of commits is just
a rebased version of another string of commits. Mark the end of one
string (i.e. the oldest commit in the string) and invoke "Compare with
marked commit" on the end of the other string.
As this is implemented, the UI will be unresponsive while the results
are being generated. This should be fixed.

This adds a context-menu command to put a mark on this commit. There
is at most one marked commit at any time, and it is indicated by a box
drawn around the headline. Once a commit is marked, two other
context-menu commands become available: one to select the marked commit,
and another to find the closest common descendant of this commit and
the marked commit.
The "find common descendant" command uses the displayed parent/child
relationships (i.e. the rewritten parent pointers produced by git log),
not the real parent/child relationships. Currently the UI will be
unresponsive while gitk is working out the nearest common descendant;
this should be improved in future.
