Custom actions to run in 'sh' and require an output UI about git-cola HOT 4 CLOSED

Sweet. Yup, we need to use a console. I'll take a look at your patch shortly. Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure how to do it portably (cross-platform) so I deferred implementing that part up front.

Your patch implements its own console. Very nice. From a quick read it looks good.

The only issue is that we're calling out to GUi code directly from a command object. That's easily to refactor and I can take care of it now that you've done the heavy lifting.

We have the prompt_user() thing for interacting with UI components from command objects. I'll register a handler for it so that we can get the desired behavior.

That should let us pass the parent widget pointer in too so that we can wait for the dialog to finish before calling rescan.

Thanks! good stuff.

Oh ya.. I'll be able to work on this as soon as I finish my taxes ;-)
Soon, but probably not until this weekend/next week.

Thanks for your patience.

Ok, I applied your patch (added a sign-off, I hope that's ok) and then tweaked things a bit. It supports unicode now :-) and does the correct rescan thing as described in git-config(1).
