git-gui: Don't nice git blame on MSYS as nice is not supported

2007-06-27T04:27:13Z

Johannes Sixt reported that MinGW/MSYS does not have a nice.exe to drop the priority of a child process when it gets spawned. So we have to avoid trying to start `git blame` through nice when we are on Windows and do not have Cygwin available to us. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Bind Tab/Shift-Tab to cycle between panes in blame

2007-06-21T03:25:23Z

The blame viewer is composed of two different areas, the file area on top and the commit area on the bottom. If users are trying to shift the focus it is probably because they want to shift from one area to the other, so we just setup Tab and Shift-Tab to jump from the one half to the other in a cycle.

git-gui: Save geometry before the window layout is damaged

2007-06-12T03:52:43Z

Because Tk does not assure us the order that it will process children in before it destroys the main toplevel we cannot safely save our geometry data during a "bind . " event binding. The geometry may have already changed as a result of a one or more children being removed from the layout. This was pointed out in gitk by Mark Levedahl, and patched over there by commit b6047c5a8166a71e01c6b63ebbb67c6894d95114. So we now also use "wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW" to detect when the window is closed by the user, and forward that close event to our main do_quit routine. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Include 'war on whitespace' fixes from git.git

2007-06-11T23:06:10Z

Earlier git.git applied a large "war on whitespace" patch that was created using 'apply --whitespace=strip'. Unfortunately a few of git-gui's own files got caught in the mix and were also cleaned up. That was a6080a0a44d5ead84db3dabbbc80e82df838533d. This patch is needed in git-gui.git to reapply those exact same changes here, otherwise our version generator script is unable to obtain our version number from git-describe when we are hosted in the git.git repository.

git-gui: Changed blame header bar background to match main window

2007-06-08T06:50:07Z

The main window's diff header bar background switched from orange to gold recently, and I liked the effect it had on readability of the text. Since I wanted the blame viewer to match, here it is. Though this probably should be a user defined color, or at least a constant somewhere that everyone can reference. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Favor the original annotations over the recent ones

2007-06-06T07:22:22Z

Usually when you are looking at blame annotations for a region of a file you are more interested in why something was originally done then why it is here now. This is because most of the time when we get original annotation data we are looking at a simple refactoring performed to better organize code, not to change its semantic meaning or function. Reorganizations are sometimes of interest, but not usually. We now show the original commit data first in the tooltip. This actually looks quite nice as the original commit will usually have an author date prior to the current (aka move/copy) annotation's commit, so the two commits will now tend to appear in chronological order. I also found myself to always be clicking on the line of interest in the file column but I always wanted the original tracking data and not the move/copy data. So I changed our default commit from $asim_data (the simple move/copy annotation) to the more complex $amov_data (the -M -C -C original annotation). Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Improve our labeling of blame annotation types

2007-06-06T07:03:52Z

It feels wrong to call the -M -C -C annotations "move/copy tracking" as they are actually the original locations. So I'm relabeling the status bar to show "copy/move tracking annotations" for the current file (no -M -C -C) as that set of annotations tells us who put the hunk here (who moved/copied it). I'm now calling the -M -C -C pass "original location annotations" as that's what we're really digging for. I also tried to clarify some of the text in the hover tooltip. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

git-gui: Use three colors for the blame viewer background

2007-06-06T06:53:36Z

To prevent neighboring lines that are different commits from using the same background color we now use 3 colors and assign them by selecting the color that is not used before or after the line in question. We still color "on the fly" as we receive hunks from git-blame, but we delay our color decisions until we are getting the original location data (the slower -M -C -C pass) as that is usually more fine-grained than the current location data. Credit goes to Martin Waitz for the tri-coloring concept. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Jump to original line in blame viewer

2007-06-06T05:26:52Z

When the user clicks on a commit link within one of the columns in the blame viewer we now jump them not just to that commit/file pair but also to the line of the original file. This saves the user a lot of time, as they don't need to search through the new file data for the chunk they were previously looking at. We also restore the prior view when the user clicks the back button to return to a pior commit/file pair that they were looking at. Turned out this was quite tricky to get working in Tk. Every time I tried to jump the text widgets to the correct locations by way of the "yview moveto" or "see" subcommands Tk performed the change until the current event finished dispatching, and then reset the views back to 0, making the change never take place. Forcing Tk to run the pending events before we jump the UI resolves the issue. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Display both commits in our tooltips

2007-06-06T05:26:52Z

If we have commit data from both the simple blame and the rename/move tracking blame and they differ than there is a bigger story to tell. We now include data from both commits so that the user can see that this link as moved, who moved it, and where it originated from. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce
