[PATCH] gitk: Make web links clickable

[PATCH] gitk: Make web links clickable

[Paul Mackerras]

This makes gitk look for lines in the commit message which start with
"Link:" or "BugLink:" followed by a http or https URL, and make the
URL clickable.  Clicking on it will invoke an external web browser with
the URL.

The web browser command is by default "xdg-open" on Linux, "open" on
MacOS, and "cmd /c start" on Windows.  The command can be changed in
the preferences window, and it can include parameters as well as the
command name.  If it is set to the empty string then URLs will no
longer be made clickable.

FWIW, I personally hate those "Link:" that do not say what the links
are for (IOW, I am OK with "BugLink:" or even "Bug:").

In any case, I polled your repository but I did not find anything to
pull.  Do you want me to start my own gitk mirror, queue this patch
there and pull from it myself, or is this meant to be a preview of
what you'll tell me to pull in a few days?

Thanks.

Why just lines starting with "Link:" or "BugLink:"? Why not do it for 
all links?

Will it be a better idea to stop at the first whitespace character, 
instead of stopping at the end of the line?

I was expecting some comments and suggestions, so I didn't push it out
yet.  One suggestion which seems reasonable is to match any http or
https URL anywhere in the commit description, not just with Link: or
BugLink: at the start of the line.  What do you think of that?  It's
quite easy to do.  Also it should stop at whitespace rather than going
to the end of the line.

[PATCH v2] gitk: Make web links clickable

[Paul Mackerras]

This makes gitk look for http or https URLs in the commit description
and make the URLs clickable.  Clicking on them will invoke an external
web browser with the URL.

The web browser command is by default "xdg-open" on Linux, "open" on
MacOS, and "cmd /c start" on Windows.  The command can be changed in
the preferences window, and it can include parameters as well as the
command name.  If it is set to the empty string then URLs will no
longer be made clickable.

Yup, that's a quite good suggestion, without little chance of false
positive these days, as we do not have to worry about anything but
http:// and https:// ;-)

I know I suggested searching till the first non-whitespace character, 
but thinking more about, there are some problematic cases. Say someone 
has a commit message like:
  
  Foo bar baz (more details at https://example.com/hello)

Or like:

  Check out https://foo.com, https://bar.com

In the first example, the closing parenthesis gets included in the link, 
but shouldn't be. In the second, the comma after foo.com would be 
included in the link, but shouldn't be. So maybe use a more 
sophisticated regex?

A quick Google search gives out the following options [0][1].

[0] gives the following regex:

  https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)

It is kind of ugly to look at, and I'm not even sure if there are any 
syntax differences with Tcl's regex library.

[1] lists a bunch of regexes and which URLs they work on and which ones 
they don't. The smallest among them I found is:

  @^(https?|ftp)://[^\s/$.?#].[^\s]*$@iS

Again, I'm not sure how well this would work with Tcl's regex library, 
or how commonly these URL patterns appear in actual commit messages.  
Just something to consider.

I did think about that, but it seems to be impossible to get it right
in all cases, so I went for simple and obvious.  In particular I don't
see how to handle the common case of a '.' immediately following the
URL, since '.' is a legal character in a URL.

I think I would be inclined to make the regex customizable, since that
would also allow the user to match ftp or other URLs if they want.
The only difficulty with that is if there are subexpressions, that
will change how we have to interpret the list returned by the
regexp -indices -all -inline command.

That just puts the responsibility of parsing the URL on the user, it 
doesn't solve the problem.

I don't have any numbers, but I think most problematic cases are when 
there are some trailing characters. We aren't dealing with malicious 
actors that want to do something bad or make gitk crash. IMO it is 
reasonable to expect legal URLs in a commit message.

So instead of trying to encompass all possible legal URLs and removing 
all illegal URLs, how about using a simple regex for basic filtering to 
weed out some false positives, and then trimming illegal trailing 
characters. These trailing characters would most likely be comma, 
period, parenthesis, question marks, quotation marks, etc. This way the 
logic stays simple and we tackle more real world problems.

Sounds reasonable?
