Repository titles and file path tooltips

Repository dialogs identify their working tree using its full path by default. In Settings → Advanced, DialogTitles = 1 starts the path at the repository name instead. Other values use the full path. Applying this setting updates already-open repository windows, including their current scoped path and operation name. Reset the value by clearing its text in Advanced settings.

Commit uses its selected file, or the common containing directory of multiple selected paths, while Show Whole Project uses the repository root. Working Tree and Log retain their scoped location. Revision context in a Log title and operation changes in Rebase/Bisect remain attached when the presentation setting changes. Progress windows use the same policy and their owner's preference domain where one is supplied. Standalone document windows retain document filenames.

ShowListFullPathTooltip defaults to true. Path cells in Commit, Working Tree, Log changed files, Changed Files, Add, Revert, Resolve, Rebase conflicts and LFS locks show the full local file path. Existing rename/changelist details remain below that path where applicable. False disables these path tooltips; clearing the Advanced value restores the default. SwiftUI path cells observe the preference and Add refreshes its AppKit cells when it changes.

Pinned source comparison

Baseline: TortoiseGit 7338078f8ddd924b8cddee35f512f2286072136d. CAppUtils::FormatWindowTitle / SetWindowTitle in src/TortoiseProc/AppUtils.cpp supplies the source setting modes and its 80-minus-dialog-name buffer budget. CommitDlg.cpp and LogDlg.cpp supply scoped locations. CGitStatusListCtrl::OnLvnGetInfoTip in src/Git/GitStatusListCtrl.cpp, and the corresponding FileDiff handler, supply the default-enabled full-path tooltip guard.

The macOS formatter retains the source UTF-16 length budget and uses en-dash separators. Its middle ellipsis preserves whole Unicode graphemes; it does not reproduce the Windows PathCompactPathEx algorithm or font-dependent rendering. Repository containment requires a path-component boundary, avoiding an upstream raw-prefix ambiguity with neighboring repositories. Formatting does not resolve symlinks or perform Git operations. Native paths replace Windows drive letters.

One shared native binding retains each window's repository, scope, operation and private preference domain, observes preference changes, and retires on window close. Bindings hold windows weakly. Advanced Apply refreshes bindings immediately.

Verification and remaining work

See the grouped native fixture and testing instructions. Checkpoint evidence records the passing Debug build, nine focused Core checks and one native receiver (PID 40119, reaped and checked absent). The first build failed on a progress-model accessor and was repaired before the native run.

The Core tests cover setting modes, neighboring paths, selected-path scope, Unicode compaction, tooltips, disabling and reset. Native verification covers actual dialog construction, live private preference domains, Commit/Working Tree/ Log scope, native Add tooltip cells, reset and close retirement.

Physical hover and accessibility gestures, every list column, dialogs outside the listed shared consumers, exact Windows compaction/locale differences, full layout comparison and signed sandbox acceptance remain unverified. This shared batch does not certify complete parity for any dialog.
