2010-01-27git-gui: use themed tk widgets with Tk 8.5Libravatar Pat Thoyts1-13/+19
This patch enables the use of themed Tk widgets with Tk 8.5 and above. These make a significant difference on Windows in making the application appear native. On Windows and MacOSX ttk defaults to the native look as much as possible. On X11 the user may select a theme using the TkTheme XRDB resource class by adding an line to the .Xresources file. The set of installed theme names is available using the Tk command 'ttk::themes'. The default on X11 is similar to the current un-themed style - a kind of thin bordered motif look. A new git config variable 'gui.usettk' may be set to disable this if the user prefers the classic Tk look. Using Tk 8.4 will also avoid the use of themed widgets as these are only available since 8.5. Some support is included for Tk 8.6 features (themed spinbox and native font chooser for MacOSX and Windows). Signed-off-by: Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-09-14git-gui: Paper bag fix missing translated stringsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string "FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here. Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function. Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable name to use here. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-02Mark strings for translation.Libravatar Christian Stimming1-11/+11
The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat. Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both delimiters would work fine. [jes: I merged the later patches to that end.] Signed-off-by: Christian Stimming <stimming@tuhh.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
2007-07-08git-gui: Refactor branch switch to support detached headLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-11/+3
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. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-05-28git-gui: Allow users to rename branches through 'branch -m'Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+137
Git's native command line interface has had branch renaming support for quite a while, through the -m/-M options to the git-branch command line tool. This is an extremely useful feature as users may decide that the name of their current branch is not an adequate description, or was just entered incorrectly when it was created. Even though most people would consider git-branch to be a Porcelain tool I'm using it here in git-gui as it is the only code that implements the rather complex set of logic needed to successfully rename a branch in Git. Currently that is along the lines of: *) Backup the ref *) Backup the reflog *) Delete the old ref *) Create the new ref *) Move the backed up reflog to the new ref *) Record the rename event in the reflog *) If the current branch was renamed, update HEAD *) If HEAD changed, record the rename event in the HEAD reflog *) Rename the [branch "$name"] section in the config file Since that is some rather ugly set of functionality to implement and get right, and some of it isn't easily accessible through the raw plumbing layer I'm just cheating by relying on the Porcelain.
