Makefile(s): avoid recipe prefix in conditional statements
In GNU Make commit 07fcee35 ([SV 64815] Recipe lines cannot contain
conditional statements, 2023-05-22) and following, conditional
statements may no longer be preceded by a tab character (which Make
refers to as the recipe prefix).
There are a handful of spots in our various Makefile(s) which will break
in a future release of Make containing 07fcee35. For instance, trying to
compile the pre-image of this patch with the tip of make.git results in
the following:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
config.mak.uname:842: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.
The kernel addressed this issue in 82175d1f9430 (kbuild: Replace tabs
with spaces when followed by conditionals, 2024-01-28). Address the
issues in Git's tree by applying the same strategy.
When a conditional word (ifeq, ifneq, ifdef, etc.) is preceded by one or
more tab characters, replace each tab character with 8 space characters
with the following:
The "unless /\\$/" removes any false-positives (like "\telse \"
appearing within a shell script as part of a recipe).
After doing so, Git compiles on newer versions of Make:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
GIT_VERSION = 2.44.0.414.gfac1dc44ca9

To avoid running into command line limitations, some of Git's commands
support the `--stdin` option.
Let's use exactly this option in the three rev-list/log invocations in
gitk that would otherwise possibly run the danger of trying to invoke a
too-long command line.
While it is easy to redirect either stdin or stdout in Tcl/Tk scripts,
what we need here is both. We need to capture the output, yet we also
need to pipe in the revs/files arguments via stdin (because stdin does
not have any limit, unlike the command line). To help this, we use the
neat Tcl feature where you can capture stdout and at the same time feed
a fixed string as stdin to the spawned process.
One non-obvious aspect about this change is that the `--stdin` option
allows to specify revs, the double-dash, and files, but *no* other
options such as `--not`. This is addressed by prefixing the "negative"
revs with `^` explicitly rather than relying on the `--not` option
(thanks for coming up with that idea, Max!).

gitk: Resize panes correctly when reducing window size
The resizeclistpanes and resizecdetpanes procedures attempt to keep
the horizontal proportions of the panes of the gitk window
approximately constant when the gitk window is resized. However, if
the size is reduced enough that an existing sash position would go
outside the window, Tk moves the sash to the left to keep it inside
the window (without moving other sash positions to keep the
proportions). This happens before these resize procedures get
control, and so they work with incorrect proportions.
To fix this, we record the sash positions we set previously and use
those previously-set sash positions rather than the current sash
positions when computing the proportions.

gitk applies submodule highlighting (coloring lines starting with

There are two problems with the way gitk tries to reset `currdiffsubmod`:
1. The code says `set $currdiffsubmod` instead of `set currdiffsubmod`,
so it actually sets the variable whose name is the submodule path
instead.
2. It tries to do it after the first line in a submodule diff, which

gitk: Do not depend on Cygwin's "kill" command on Windows
Windows does not necessarily mean Cygwin, it could also be MSYS. The
latter ships with a version of "kill" that does not understand "-f".
In msysgit this was addressed by shipping Cygwin's version of kill.
Properly fix this by using the stock Windows "taskkill" command instead,
which is available since Windows XP Professional.
