[RFC PATCH 0/8] Extend git gui for better "centralized" workflow integration

[Heiko Voigt <hvoigt@hvoigt.net>]

This series is adding some more support for a centralized workflow with
code review based on feature branches. Most of it is plugging existing
functionality together so the most typical steps can be done at once.

In our team at $dayjob we use a workflow were each developer creates
feature branches and once he is satified with his change he sends out a
review request to another developer (the reviewer) which is most
familiar with the code parts involved in the change. If the reviewer
likes the change he merges it into the upstream branch (master). He then
publishes the new master and deletes the feature branch. Thats a quick
description of the workflow I am trying to add more support for with
this series.

There are still some TODO markers in there and if someone can help me
with those I would be very glad. This is the first time I am doing some
more extensive programming in tcl/tk and git gui so I hope you do not
tear everything apart ;)

The last patch is not really about the same topic but since it currently
relies on the changes of this series I included it nevertheless.

cheers Heiko
