2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` when writing objectsPatrick Steinhardt4-51/+58
The logic that writes loose objects still relies on `the_repository` to decide where exactly the object shall be written to.

2025-07-16odb: introduce `odb_write_object()`Patrick Steinhardt21-67/+106
We do not have a backend-agnostic way to write objects into an object database. While there is `write_object_file()`, this function is rather specific to the loose object format. Introduce `odb_write_object()` to plug this gap. For now, this function is a simple wrapper around `write_object_file()` and doesn't even use the passed-in object database yet. This will change in subsequent commits, where `write_object_file()` is converted so that it works on top of an `odb_source`. `odb_write_object()` will then become responsible for deciding which source an object shall be written to.

2025-07-16loose: write loose objects map via their sourcePatrick Steinhardt3-11/+15
When a repository is configured to have a compatibility hash algorithm we keep track of object ID mappings for loose objects via the loose object map. This map simply maps an object ID of the actual hash to the object ID of the compatibility hash. This loose object map is an inherent property of the loose files backend and thus of one specific object source. Refactor the interfaces to reflect this by requiring a `struct odb_source` as input instead of a repository. This prepares for subsequent commits where we will refactor writing of loose objects to work on a `struct odb_source`, as well.

2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `finalize_object_file()`Patrick Steinhardt11-25/+32
We implicitly depend on `the_repository` when moving an object file into place in `finalize_object_file()`. Get rid of this global dependency by passing in a repository. Note that one might be pressed to inject an object database instead of a repository. But the function doesn't really care about the ODB at all. All it does is to move a file into place while checking whether there is any collision. As such, the functionality it provides is independent of the object database and only needs the repository as parameter so that it can adjust permissions of the file we are about to finalize.

2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `has_loose_object()`Patrick Steinhardt3-17/+30
We implicitly depend on `the_repository` in `has_loose_object()`. Refactor the function to accept an `odb_source` as input that should be checked for such a loose object. This refactoring changes semantics of the function to not check the whole object database for such a loose object anymore, but instead we now only check that single source. Existing callers thus need to loop through all sources manually now. While this change may seem illogical at first, whether or not an object exists in a specific format should be answered by the source using that format. As such, we can eventually convert this into a generic function `odb_source_has_object()` that simply checks whether a given object exists in an object source. And as we will know about the format that any given source uses it allows us to derive whether the object exists in a given format. This change also makes `has_loose_object_nonlocal()` obsolete. The only caller of this function is adapted so that it skips the primary object source. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Adapt these callers to not do so anymore, either by deriving it from already-available context or by using `the_repository->hash_algo`.

2025-07-16gitk: allow Tcl/Tk 9.0+Mark Levedahl1-1/+1
Tcl/Tk 9.0 has been released, and has shipped in Fedora 42. Prior patches in this sequence have addressed known incompatibilities, so gitk is now operating with Tcl9. So, let's allow Tcl9. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: use -profile tcl8 on encoding conversionsMark Levedahl1-12/+19
gitk in the prior commit learned to apply -profile tcl8 to all input data streams, avoiding errors on non-binary data streams whose encoding is not utf-8. But, gitk also consumes binary data streams (generally blobs from commits), and internally decodes this to support various displays. With Tcl9, errors occur in this decoding for the same reasons described in the previous commit: basically, the underlying data was not validated to conform to the given encoding, and this source encoding may not be utf-8. gitk performs this decoding using Tcl's '[encoding convert from' operator. For example, the 7th commit in gitk's history has the extended ascii value 0xA9, so gitk 9a40c50c1e in gitk's repository raises an exception. The error log has: unexpected byte sequence starting at index 11: '\xA9' while executing "encoding convertfrom $diffencoding $line" (procedure "parseblobdiffline" line 135) invoked from within "parseblobdiffline $ids $line" (procedure "getblobdiffline" line 16) invoked from within "getblobdiffline file6 9a40c50c1e05c0658b7a7c68b56d615eb6f170dd" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval $script" (procedure "dorunq" line 11) invoked from within "dorunq" ("after" script) This problem has a similar fix to the prior issue: we must use the tlc8 profile when converting this data. Do so, again only on Tcl9 as Tcl8.6 does not recognize -profile, and only Tcl 9.0 makes strict the default. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: use -profile tcl8 for file input with Tcl 9Mark Levedahl1-0/+13
gitk invokes many git commands expecting output in utf-8 encoding, but git accepts extended ascii (code page unknown) as utf-8 without validating, so cannot guarantee valid utf-8 on output. In particular, using any extended ascii code page, of which there are many, has long been acceptable given that everyone on a project is aware of and uses that same code page to view all data. utf-8 accepts only 7-bit ascii characters in single bytes, and any characters outside of that base set require at least two bytes. Tcl is a string based language, and transcodes all input data to an internal unicode format, and to whatever format is requested on output: "pure" binary is recoded using iso8859-1. Tcl8.x silently recodes invalid utf-8 as binary data, so extended ascii characters maintain their binary value on output but may not display correctly. Tcl 8.7 added three profiles to control this behaviour: strict (raises exceptions), replace (replaces each invalid byte with ?), and the default tcl8 maintaining the old behavior. Tcl 9 changes the default profile to strict, meaning any invalid utf-8 raises an exception that gitk does not handle. An example of this in the git repository is commit 7eb93c8965 ("[PATCH] Simplify git script", 2005-09-07). This includes extended ascii characters in the author name and commit message. As a result, gitk + Tcl 9 cannot view the git repository at any point beyond that commit. Note: Tcl 9.0 has a bug, to be fixed in 9.1, where this particular condition results in a memory error causing Tcl to crash [1]. The tcl8 profile used so far has acceptable behavior given gitk's acceptance: this allows gitk to accept extended ascii though it may display incorrectly. Let's continue that behavior by overriding open to use the tcl8 profile on Tcl9 and later: Tcl 8.6 does not understand fconfigure -profile, and Tcl 8.7 maintains the tcl8 profile.

2025-07-16gitk: Tcl9 doesn't expand ~, use $env(HOME)Mark Levedahl1-5/+5
gitk looks for configuration files under $(HOME)/.., and uses the typical shortcut formats to find this, e.g., ~/.config/. This relies upon Tcl expanding such constructs to replace ~ with $(HOME). But, Tcl 9 has stopped doing that for various reasons, and now supplies [file tildeexpand ...] to perform this expansion. There are a very few places that need this expansion, and all must be modified regardless of approach taken. POSIX specifies that $HOME be defined at the time of login, and both Cygwin and MSYS (underlying git for windows) set this variable. Tcl8 uses the POSIX defined pwnam to look up the underlying database record on Unix, but will get the same result as using $HOME on any POSIX compliant system. On Windows, Tcl just accesses $HOME, falling back to other environment variables if $HOME is not set. Git for Windows has $HOME defined by MSYS, so this works just as on the others. As $env(HOME) works in Tcl 8 and 9, while anything using [file tildeexpand ... ] will not, let's use the simpler approach as doing so adds no lines of code.

2025-07-16gitk: switch to -translation binaryMark Levedahl1-3/+3
gitk uses '-encoding binary' in several places to handle non-text data. Per TIP 699, this is not recommended as there has been too much confusion and misconfiguration of binary channels, and this option is removed in Tcl 9. Tcl defines a binary channel as one that reproduces the input data exactly. As Tcl stores all data internally in unicode format, a binary channel requires 3 things: - -encoding iso8859-1 : this causes each byte of input to be translated to its unicode equivalent (may be multi-byte). - -translation lf : this avoids any translation of line endings, which by default are translated to \n on input. - -eofchar {} : this avoids any use of an end of file character, which is ctrl-z by default on Windows. The recommended '-translation binary' makes all three settings, but this is not done in gitk now. Rather, gitk uses '-encoding binary', which is an alias to '-encoding iso8859-1' removed by TIP 699, in multiple places, and -eofchar {} in one place but not all. All other files, configured in non-binary fashion, have -eofchar {}. Unix and Windows differ on line ending conventions, Tcl by default converts line endings to \n on input, and to those common on the platform on output. git emits only \n on Unix or Windows. Also, Tcl's proc gets recognizes and removes \n, \r, or \r\n as line endings, and this is used by gitk except in procs selectline and parsecommit. But, those two procs recognize any combination of \n and \r as terminating a line. So, there is no need to translate line endings on input, and using -translation binary avoids any such translation. Tcl sets eofchar to ctrl-z (ascii \0x1a) only on Windows, otherwise eofchar is {}. This provides compatibility to old DOS based codes and files originating when file systems recorded only sectors allocated, and not bytes used. git does not use ctrl-z to terminate data anywhere. Only two channels in gitk leave eofchar at the default value, both use -encoding binary now. A third one was converted in commit 681c3290e3 ("gitk: Handle blobs containing a DOS end-of-file marker", 2009-03-16), fixing such a problem of early data termination. Using eofchar {} is correct, even if not always necessary. Tcl 9 forces change, using -translation binary per TIP 699 does what gitk needs and is backwards compatible to Tcl 8.x. Do it.

2025-07-16gitk: update scrolling for TclTk 8.7+ / TIP 474Mark Levedahl1-1/+11
TclTk 8.7 (still in alpha), and 9.0 (released), implement TIP 474 that delivers uniform handling of mouse and touchpad scrolling events on all platforms, and by default bound to most widgets. TIP 474 also implements use of the Option- modifier key (Alt- key on PC, Option- key on Macs) to indicate desire for more motion per scroll wheel event, the amplification is not defined but seems to be 5x to 10x. So, for TclTk >= 8.7 we can use identical MouseWheel bindings on all platforms, and should enable use of the Option- modifier to enable larger motion. Let's do all of this, and use a 5x multiplier for the Option- modifier. This largely follows the prior win32 model, except that Tk 8.6 does not reliably use the Option- modifier because the Alt- key conflicts with builtin behavior to activate the main menubar. Presumably this conflict is addressed in the win32 Tcl9.x package. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: restore ui colors after cancelling config dialogMark Levedahl1-24/+31
gitk provides a dialog to configure many ui colors. Any color element changed in the dialog takes immediate effect before closing the dialog. While cancelling the dialog after changing one or more colors avoids saving the modified colors, the user must restart gitk to restore the prior color set. This unfortunate behavior results because gitk does not have a single routine to update all of the ui colors. The prior commit eliminated the key impediment to having such a routine. So, let's create a routine to update all configured colors at once, use this when modifying colors, and also invoke this after restoring the prior set if the dialog is cancelled.

2025-07-16gitk: allow horizontal commit-graph scrollingMark Levedahl1-0/+4
gitk commit 5fdcbb1390 ("gitk: Fixes for Mac OS X TkAqua", 2009-03-23), adds horizontal scrolling of the commit graph pane on aqua, but not on x11 or win32. Also, the horizontal scrolling is triggered by MouseWheel events attached to any of the three panes, not just the commit graph that is the only one that scrolls. It is unusual to scroll a widget that is not under the mouse, many would consider this a bug. No horizontal scrollbar is provided for this, so there is no real cue for the user that horizontal scrolling is available. We removed this aqua only feature by transitioning aqua to use the common MouseWheel bindings set. Let's add this as a feature on all platforms, and use the same approach for scaling scroll motion as we do elsewhere. For horizontal scrolling, honor only events received by the commit graph in conformance with normal GUI design. Vertical scrolling is unchanged, and events received by any of the 3 panes continue to scroll all 3 in unison. Per the ancient and long ignored CUA standards, we should add a horizontal scrollbar to the commit-graph, but gitk's interface is already very cluttered: adding a scrollbar to only one of these three panes is difficult while maintaining common pane vertical size, especially so considering the movable sash separating panes 1 & 2, and will consume yet more space. So, leave this as a hidden feature, now available on all platforms. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: set config dialog color swatches in one placeMark Levedahl1-12/+28
gitk's color selection dialog uses a number of "label" widgets to show the current value of each selectable color. This uses the -background color property of label widgets, and this property is overwritten when the full ui color set is refreshed. The swatch colors are set individually using code passed into the chooser dialog, so there is no common routine to set all after updating the global ui colors. Let's replace this with a single routine that does set all swatches, removing a key impediment to restoring the ui colors if the dialog is cancelled.

2025-07-16gitk: update aqua scrolling for TclTk 8.6 / TIP171Mark Levedahl1-8/+2
Tk provides MouseWheel events to aqua, similar to win32. But, these events on aqua have a nominal motion value (%D) of 1, not 120 as on win32. gitk on aqua provides specific bindings only for the top 3 panes, giving a nominal scrolling amount of +/- 1 for all events. gitk includes a hidden feature providing horizontal scrolling of the commit graph, added in 5fdcbb1390 ("gitk: Fixes for Mac OS X TkAqua", 2009-03-23). This horizontal scrolling is triggered by mouse events in any of the top 3 panes, and thus violates normal gui design where the object under the mouse cursor scrolls. Let's update this using the common bindings in 'proc bind_mousewheel', allowing user preferences on motion scaling to apply to all windows. The commit graph scrolling feature is removed by this, and will be added back for all platforms in a later commit. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: update x11 scrolling for TclTk 8.6 / TIP 171Mark Levedahl1-9/+18
gitk has x11 mouse bindings that receive button presses, not MouseWheel events, as this is the Tk implementation through Tk 8.6. On x11, gitk translates each button event to a scrolling value of +/- 5 for the upper three panes that scroll vertically as one unit. gitk applies similar scaling for horizontal scaling of the lower-left commit details pane (ctext), but not for vertical scrolling of either of the bottom panes. Rather, the Tk default scrolling actions are used for vertical scrolling. Let's make X11 behave similarly to the just modified win32 platform. Do so by connecting vertical and horizontal scrolling events for the same items bound in 'proc bind_mousewheel' and using the same user preference values.

2025-07-16gitk: update win32 scrolling for Tk 8.6 / TIP 171Mark Levedahl1-24/+8
gitk on win32 binds windows_mousewheel_redirector to all MouseWheel events in the main window. This proc determines the widget under the cursor, then determines what scroll command to give, possibly none, and issues scroll commands to the widget. The top panes get only vertical scroll events, as does the lower right Patch/Tree pane. All others get both vertical and horizontal events. These are all hard coded at +/- five lines. We now have common MouseWheel event bindings that follow user preferences for the scrolling amount, bind for only the five main display widgets, and leave the other gui elements untouched. Let's use this instead. With the scrolling preference set at 5, the users should not notice much, if any, difference. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: mousewheel scrolling functions for Tk 8.6Mark Levedahl1-0/+15
gitk supports scrolling of 5 windows, but does this differently on the aqua, x11, and win32 platforms as Tk provides different events on each. TIP 171 removes some differences on win32 while altering the required bindings on x11. TIP 474, which is in Tk 8.7 and later, finally unifies all platforms on using common MouseWheel bindings. Importantly for now, TIP 171 causes delivery of MouseWheel events to the widget under the mouse cursor on win32, eliminating the need for completely different bindings on win32. Let's make some common functions to unify as much as we can in Tk 8.6. Examining the platforms shows that the default platform scrolling is overridden differently on the 3 platforms, and the nominal amount of motion achieved per mouse wheel "click" is different. win32 nominally makes everything move 5 lines per click, aqua 1 line per click, and x11 is a mixture. Part of this is due to win32 overriding all scroll events, while x11 and aqua override smaller sets. Also, note that the text widgets (the lower two panes) always scroll by 2-3 lines when given a smaller scroll amount, while the upper three canvas objects follow the requested scrolling value more accurately. First, let's have a common routine to calculate the scroll value to give to a widget in an event. This accounts for the user preference, the scale of the %D (delta) value given by the event (120 on win32, 1 on aqua, assumed 1 on x11), and must always be integer. Include negation as by convention the screen moves opposite to the MouseWheel delta. Allow setting an offset value to account for the larger minimum scrolling of text widgets. Second, let's have a common declaration of MouseWheel event bindings, as those are shared by all in Tcl9, and by aqua/win32 earlier. Bind all five display windows here. Note that the Patch/Tree widget (cflist) cannot scroll horizontally. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: wheel scrolling multiplier preferenceMark Levedahl1-0/+5
gitk provides scrolling of several windows, uses hard-coded values for the amount of scrolling, and these values differ across platforms and widgets. The nominal value used is either 1 text line per mouse / touchpad / button event, or 5 lines. Furthermore, Tk does not scroll text widgets by 1 line when told to, this usually gets 2-3 lines of motion. The upper canvas objects holding the commit graph do scroll as defined. But, clearly no value is universally preferred, so let's give the user some control over this. Provide a single multiplier to be applied for all scroll bindings, with a value of 3 to mean the default nominal value of 3 line. This is selected both as a compromise between the various defaults across platforms, and because it is the smallest value honored by the two text widgets on the bottom of the screen. Later commits will connect this variable for actual scrolling events. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>

Using ttk had to be optional as Tk 8.4, then in common use, does not have ttk. ttk is the default when available, so the ttk code paths are by now very well tested. gitk also has code paths for the older default widgets, increasing the maintenance burden.

2025-07-16gitk: use $config_variables as list for save/restoreMark Levedahl1-30/+66
gitk includes many user defined configuration variables, has all of these are listed in $config_variables. But this list is not used to define the variables to be loaded, saved, or restored when cancelling the configuration dialog, and developers must maintain separate lists of variables for these purposes. This leads to unnecessary errors and merge conflicts. Let's replace those separate lists with $config_variables to make maintenance easier. While we are on topic, sort the list of names in $config_variables. This makes it simpler to scan and has fewer chances of conflicts when new names are introduced.

2025-07-16git-gui: Add support of SHA256 repoTakashi Iwai5-12/+31
This patch adds the basic support of SHA256 Git repositories. Most of changes are idiomatic replacement of the hard-coded hash ID length, but there are subtle things: * The hash length is determined on startup, and stored in $hashlength global variable (either 40 or 64). * The hard-coded "40" are replaced with $hashlength; for regexp patterns, the ugly string map is used. * Some code have the fixed numbers like 39 and 45, and those are replaced with the $hashlength and the offset correction. * $nullid and $nullid2 are generated for the hash length. A caveat is that repository picker dialog is performed before evaluating the repo type, hence $hashlength isn't set there yet. So the code dealing with the hard-coded "40" are handled differently; namely, the regexp range is expanded, and the null id is generated from the HEAD id length locally.

2025-07-16gitk: remove implementations for Tcl/Tk < 8.6Mark Levedahl1-114/+23
gitk includes code specifically for Tcl 8.4 and 8.5, but the requirement is now for at least 8.6. Remove the now unusable code targeting earlier Tcl. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: Make TclTk 8.6 the minimum, allow 8.7Mark Levedahl1-8/+9
gitk runs under wish so naturally has Tcl and Tk available and of the same version. gitk sets a requirement on Tk version >= 8.4: this is very outdated, and the earliest Tcl currently shipping on any supported OS is 8.6. As 8.7 is in alpha test and is generally compatible with 8.6, we should allow 8.7. Tcl 9.0 has planned compatibility breaking changes so is not yet supported. Let's change the requirements to 8.6-8.7, but not 9.0. Place this at the top of file so the requirements are obvious. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: remove code targeting git <= 1.7.2Mark Levedahl1-43/+14
gitk has a few code fragments that are used only for git versions <= 1.7.2 that do not support submodules, notes, word differences, or textconv filters. We just set the minimum git version higher than 1.7.2 so these code fragments have no effect. Delete them. Helped-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
2025-07-16gitk: require git >= 2.20Mark Levedahl1-2/+16
gitk has alternate code paths for early git up to 1.72, and has no defined minimum version. Setting any version > 1.72 as minimum will allow removing those code paths. The recent set of advisories published for git, gitk, and git-gui add updates for v2.43 and later, but Debian has buster withgit 2.20 still available. While Debian would be responsible for backporting any fixes to such an early version, we have no good reason preclude it. So, make 2.20 the minimum required git version.

2025-07-16config: set comment_line_str to "#" when core.commentChar=autoAyush Chandekar1-2/+4
If conflict comments already use a comment character that isn't "#", and core.commentChar is set "auto", Git will ignore these lines during the scan using ignored_log_message_bytes() and pick a new comment character based on the rest of the message. The newly chosen character may be different from the one used in the conflict comments and therefore, these are no longer treated as comments and end up in the final commit message. For example, during a rebase if the user previously set core.commentChar=% and then encounters a conflict, conflict comments like "% Conflicts:" are generated. If the user subsequently sets core.commentChar=auto before running `rebase --continue`, Git parses the "auto" setting and begins scanning. It first uses the existing 'comment_line_str' (which is '%') to detect and ignore conflict comments via ignored_log_message_bytes(). Then, Git scans the rest of the message (excluding conflict comments), sees that none of the remaining lines start with '#' and decides to set comment_line_str to '#'. Since the final commit character differs from the one used in the conflict comments, those lines are no longer considered comments and get included in the final commit message. Set 'comment_line_str' to '#' when core.commentChar is set to 'auto' to reset any previously set value. While this does not solve the issue of conflict comment inclusion and the user visible behaviour stays tha same, it standardizes the behaviour of the code by always resetting 'comment_line_str' to '#' when core.commentChar=auto is parsed. The patch text is based on Phillip Wood's message: https://lore.kernel.org/git/9e96aaab-79a2-4632-94cd-d016d4a63b30@gmail.com/ and the commit log message is wriiten by me.

2025-07-16commit: avoid scanning trailing comments when 'core.commentChar' is "auto"Ayush Chandekar2-1/+18
When core.commentChar is set to "auto", Git selects a comment character by scanning the commit message contents and avoiding any character already present in the message. If the message still contains old conflict comments (starting with a comment character), Git assumes that character is in use and chooses a different one. As a result, those existing comment lines are no longer recognized as comments and end up being included in the final commit message. To avoid this, skip scanning the trailing comment block when selecting the comment character. This allows Git to safely reuse the original character when appropriate, keeping the commit message clean and free of leftover conflict information. Background: The "auto" value for core.commentchar was introduced in the commit 84c9dc2c5a (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selection, 2014-05-17) but did not exhibit this issue at that time. The bug was introduced in commit a6c2654f83 (rebase -m: fix --signoff with conflicts, 2024-04-18) where Git started writing conflict comments to the file at 'rebase_path_message()'.

Since 8277dbe987 (git-compat-util: convert skip_{prefix,suffix}{,_mem} to bool, 2023-12-16) a number of our string predicates have been returning bool instead of int. Now that we've declared that experiment a success, let's convert the return type of the case-independent skip_iprefix() and skip_iprefix_mem() functions to match the return type of their case-dependent equivalents. Returning bool instead of int makes it clear that these functions are predicates. Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
