[PATCH 1/2] gitk: Add a basic support of SHA256 repositories into Gitk

From
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
Date

Message-ID
<20250320154136.23262-2-tiwai@suse.de>
In-Reply-To
<20250320154136.23262-1-tiwai@suse.de>
From: Rostislav Krasny <rosti.bsd@gmail.com>

This PR makes Gitk working on both SHA256 and SHA1 repositories without errors/crashes. I made it by changing and testing the gitk script of Git for Windows [https://gitforwindows.org/] version 2.32.0.windows.1 that is a little bit different than the mainstream 2.32.0 version.

Still not fixed functionality: [1] There is the "Auto-select SHA1 (length)" configuration preference that affects "Copy commit reference" on both SHA1 and SHA256 repositories.

A new "Auto-select SHA256 (length)" configuration preference should be added and used on SHA256 repositories instead of the old one. Since I'm not familiar with Tcl/Tk and this issue isn't critical I didn't implement it.

[ Changes from the original patch:
  * Discard the changes for generic words (e.g. "Commit ID"), so that
    translations can be still applied after this patch
  * Simplify the regexp check in gotocommit as suggested in the
    previous review
