2009-12-05git-gui: search 4 directories to improve statistic of gc hintLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-11/+10
On Windows, git-gui suggests running the garbage collector if it finds 1 or more files in .git/objects/42 (as opposed to 8 files on other platforms). The probability of that happening if the repo contains about 100 loose objects is 32%. The probability for the same to happen when searching 4 directories is only 8%, which is bit more reasonable. Also remove $objects_limit from the message, because we already know that we are above (or close to) that limit. Telling the user about that number does not really give him any useful information. The following octave script shows the probability for at least m*q objects to be found in q subdirectories of .git/objects if n is the total number of objects. q = 4; m = [1 2 8]; n = 0:10:2000; P = zeros(length(n), length(m)); for k = 1:length(n) P(k, :) = 1-binocdf(q*m-1, n(k), q/(256-q)); end plot(n, P); n \ q 1 4 50 18% 1% 100 32% 8% 200 54% 39% 500 86% 96% Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-04-14git-gui: Report less precise object estimates for database compressionLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+2
On startup, git-gui warns if there are many loose objects. It does so by saying, e.g., that there are "approximately 768 loose objects". But isn't "768" a very accurate number? Lets say "750", which (while still being a very precise number) sounds much more like an estimation. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-09-13git-gui: add some strings to translationLibravatar Michele Ballabio1-3/+3
Most of these changes were suggested by Shawn Pearce in an answer to Johannes Schindelin. Some strings for the blame module were added too. [sp: Minor edits in blame module formatting] Signed-off-by: Michele Ballabio <barra_cuda@katamail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-02Mark strings for translation.Libravatar Christian Stimming1-14/+14
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>
2007-07-17git-gui: Delay the GC hint until after we are runningLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+27
I'm moving the code related to looking to see if we should GC now into a procedure closer to where it belongs, the database module. This reduces our script by a few lines for the single commit case (aka citool). But really it just is to help organize the code. We now perform the check after we have been running for at least 1 second. This way the main window has time to open up and our dialog (if we open it) will attach to the main window, instead of floating out in no-mans-land like it did before on Mac OS X. I had to use a wait of a full second here as a wait of 1 millisecond made our console install itself into the main window. Apparently we had a race condition with the console code where both the console and the main window thought they were the main window. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-09git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executablesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
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.

2007-05-08git-gui: Convert browser, console to "class" formatLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+6
Now that we have a slightly easier method of working with per-widget data we should make use of that technique in our browser and console meta-widgets, as both have a decent amount of information that they store on a per-widget basis and our current approach of handling it is difficult to follow.

2007-05-07git-gui: Move console procs into their own namespaceLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-8/+8
To help modularize git-gui better I'm isolating the code and variables required to handle our little console windows into their own namespace. This way we can say console::new rather than new_console, and the hidden internal procs to create the window and read data from our filehandle are off in their own private little land, where most users don't see them.

2007-05-07git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanityLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+89
I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code. Since most of the program is organized into different units of functionality and not all users will need all units immediately on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us. This should help not only to better organize the source, but it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl parser does not need to read as much script before it can show the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half of git-gui now. Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be $(gitexecdir)/../share. We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile, as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building from source. I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
