[PATCH] Limited git-gui to displaying 5000 new files

[PATCH] Limited git-gui to displaying 5000 new files

[Dan Zwell]

When there is a large number of new or modified files,
"display_all_files" takes a long time, and git-gui appears to
hang. Limit the display to 5000 files, by default. This number
is configurable as gui.maxfilesdisplayed.

Show a warning if the list of files is truncated.

This should use [get_config gui.maxfilesdisplayed] so that the
user can actually set this property in a configuration file and
have git-gui honor it.  Reading from $default_config means you are
only looking at the hardcoded value you set in git-gui.sh.

Wouldn't it be easier to just set files_warning to 0 at the start
of the script, so that you don't need to do this info exists test?

This needs to be in the translated strings.

Or should I have looked at the internationalization repo

No, I meant that the patch needs to use [mc] or whatever it is
to enable the string to be localized.  After its marked with the
necessary code change, I can apply the patch, regenerate the .pot,

This limit can be set as gui.maxfilesdisplayed, and is

[Dan Zwell]

When there is a large number of new or modified files,
"display_all_files" takes a long time, and git-gui appears to
hang. This change limits the number of files that are displayed.
This limit can be set as gui.maxfilesdisplayed, and is
5000 by default.

A warning is shown when the list of files is truncated.

This should be:

info_popup [mc "Displaying only %s of %s files." $display_limit [llength $to_display]]

And the updated translation.

But now, when I really think about the change, it looks useless.
What has the _number_ of files has to do with the files you actually
have to handle? As the sorting of the file list cannot be changed (and
it wouldn't be a big help anyway), you have no chance to get to your
file if it happens to be past the limit!

Wouldn't a pathname/glob filter in the command-line (or file/path
selection dialog) to limit the scope be more appropriate and useful?
And have the file list reading to happen in background, as gitk does?

Good point.  I suspect the problem wasn't so much with Tcl doing the
list processing as it was with Tk actually creating the underlying
icons and stuff for each file name.  But with the list clipped,
you are right, you are basically SOL.  You can't do much beyond
dropping back to the CLI and using the CLI tools.

IMHO, if we aren't going to handle 20k file names, we should at least
punt and tell the user we aren't going to handle 20k file names,
rather than just play Outlook wannabe and lockup the entire UI until
the user gets bored and kill -9's us.  So this patch is better than
nothing, it at least lets the user know we have given up on them.

A warning would be good, but this gives users more information. In my 
case, I only wanted to see a few files, but the rest were from a 
directory that should have been in .gitignore. If I had seen the 
filenames, I would have known which directory was the culprit. This way, 
you don't need to drop to the command line to fix the problem.
