Prompt the user independently for untracked files, since the underlying action is fundamentally different (rm -f). If after deleting untracked files, the directory containing them becomes empty, then remove the directory as well. Migrate unlocking of the index out of _close_updateindex to a responsibility of the caller, to permit paths that don't directly unlock the index, and refactor the error handling added in d4e890e5 so that callers can make flow control decisions in the event of errors. A new proc delete_files takes care of actually deleting the files in batches, using the Tcler's Wiki recommended approach for keeping the UI responsive. Since the checkout_index and delete_files calls are both asynchronous and could potentially complete in any order, a "chord" is used to coordinate unlocking the index and returning the UI to a usable state only after both operations are complete. The `SimpleChord` class, based on TclOO (Tcl/Tk 8.6), is added in this commit.

In this implementation, the chord is defined +# dynamically for each invocation. A SimpleChord object is created, supplying +# body script to be run when the chord is completed, and then one or more notes +# are added to the chord. Each note can be called like a proc, and returns +# immediately if the chord isn't yet complete. When the last remaining note is +# called, the body runs before the note returns. +# +# The SimpleChord class has a constructor that takes the body script, and a +# method add_note that returns a note object. Since the body script does not +# run in the context of the procedure that defined it, a mechanism is provided +# for injecting variables into the chord for use by the body script. The +# activation of a note is idempotent; multiple calls have the same effect as +# a simple call. +# +# If you are invoking asynchronous operations with chord notes as completion +# callbacks, and there is a possibility that earlier operations could complete +# before later ones are started, it is a good practice to create a "common" +# note on the chord that prevents it from being complete until you're certain +# you've added all the notes you need. +# +# Example: +# +# # Turn off the UI while running a couple of async operations. +# lock_ui +# +# set chord [SimpleChord new { +# unlock_ui +# # Note: $notice here is not referenced in the calling scope +# if {$notice} { info_popup $notice } +# } +# +# # Configure a note to keep the chord from completing until +# # all operations have been initiated. +# set common_note [$chord add_note] +# +# # Pass notes as 'after' callbacks to other operations +# async_operation $args [$chord add_note] +# other_async_operation $args [$chord add_note] +# +# # Communicate with the chord body +# if {$condition} { +# # This sets $notice in the same context that the chord body runs in. +# $chord eval { set notice "Something interesting" } +# } +# +# # Activate the common note, making the chord eligible to complete +# $common_note +# +# At this point, the chord will complete at some unknown point in the future. +# The common note might have been the first note activated, or the async +# operations might have completed synchronously and the common note is the +# last one, completing the chord before this code finishes, or anything in +# between.
