commands and allow a command to block execution of subsequent
commands. This allows run-shell and if-shell to be synchronous which has
been much requested.
Each client has a default command queue and commands are consumed one at
a time from it. A command may suspend execution from the queue by
returning CMD_RETURN_WAIT and then resume it by calling cmd_continue() -
for example run-shell does this from the callback that is fired after
the job is freed.
When the command queue becomes empty, command clients are automatically
exited (unless attaching). A callback is also fired - this is used for
nested commands in, for example, if-shell which can block execution of
the client's cmdq until a new cmdq becomes empty.
Also merge all the old error/info/print functions together and lose the
old curclient/cmdclient distinction - a cmdq is bound to one client (or
none if in the configuration file), this is a command client if
c->session is NULL otherwise an attached client.

Add move-pane command (like join-pane but allows the same window). Also
-b flag to join-pane and move-pane to place the pane to the left or
above. From George Nachman.
Provide defined ways to set the various default-path possibilities: ~
for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.

default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise:
1) If tmux neww is run from the command line, the working directory of the
client is used.
2) Otherwise use some platform specific code to retrieve the current working
directory of the process in the active pane.
3) If that fails, the directory where the session was created is used.

Give each pane created in a tmux server a unique id (starting from 0),
put it in the TMUX_PANE environment variable and accept it as a
target. Suggested by and with testing and tweaks from Ben Boeckel.
Clean up and simplify tmux command argument parsing.
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.
This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).
This is overall more simple and consistent.
There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.

Store sessions in an RB tree by name rather than a list, this is tidier
and allows them to easily be shown sorted in various lists
(list-sessions/choose-sessions).
Keep a session index which is used in a couple of places internally but
make it an ever-increasing number rather than filling in gaps with new
sessions.

Identical behaviour to select-prompt can now be obtained with
command-prompt, so remove select-prompt and change ' to be bound to
command-prompt -p index "select-window -t :%%".
Permit !, + and - to be used for window targets to specify last window (!), or
next and previous window by number (+ and -).
Also tidy an if in cmd-new-window.c.
Massive spaces->tabs and trailing whitespace cleanup, hopefully for the last

colours...
Add a per-client log of status line messages displayed while that client
exists. A new message-limit session option sets the maximum number of entries
and a command, show-messages, shows the log (bound to ~ by default).
This (and prompt history) might be better as a single global log but until
there are global options it is easier for them to be per client.

Add an activity time for clients, like for sessions, and change session and
client lookup to pick the most recently used rather than the most recently
created - this is much more useful when used interactively and (because the
activity time is set at creation) should have no effect on source-file.
Based on a problem reported by Jan Johansson.
If it isn't available explicitly, work out the current client in a similar way
to the current session - build a list of the possibilities then pick the
newest.
Change session and client activity and creation time members to have more
meaningful names.
Also, remove the code to try and update the session activity time for the
command client when a command message is received as is pointless because it
des not have a session.

Add a pipe-pane command to allow a pane to be piped to a shell command, for
example:
pipe-pane 'cat >~/out'
No arguments stops outputing and closes the pipe; the -o flag toggles a pipe
and on and off (useful for key bindings).

If no target client is specified to commands which accept one, try to guess the
current client, in a similar manner to how sessions already work: if the
current session can be established and has only one client, use that; otherwise
use the most recently created client.

Remove the internal tmux locking and instead detach each client and run the
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.

Add a choose-client command and extend choose-{session,window} to accept a
template. After a choice is made, %% (or %1) in the template is replaced by the
name of the session, window or client suitable for -t and the result executed
as a command. So, for example, "choose-window "killw -t '%%'"" will kill the
selected window.
The defaults if no template is given are (as now) select-window for
choose-window, switch-client for choose-session, and detach-client for
choose-client (now bound to D).

Infrastructure and commands to manage the environment for processes started

environment which overrides it.
New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the

A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session

Merge pane number into the target specification for pane commands. Instead of
using -p index, a target pane is now addressed with the normal -t window form
but suffixed with a period and a pane index, for example :0.2 or
mysess:mywin.1. An unadorned number such as -t 1 is tried as a pane index in
the current window, if that fails the same rules are followed as for a target
window and the current pane in that window used.
As a side-effect this now means that swap-pane can swap panes between
different windows.
Note that this changes the syntax of the break-pane, clear-history, kill-pane,
resize-pane, select-pane and swap-pane commands.
Add an additional heuristic to work out the current session when run from the
command line. The name of all slave ptys in the server is known, so if the
client was run on a tty, look for any sessions containing that tty and use the
most recently created.
This is more reliable than looking at $TMUX if windows have been moved or
linked between sessions.

Make all messages sent between the client and server fixed size.
This is the first of two changes to make the protocol more resilient and less
sensitive to other changes in the code, particularly with commands. The client
now packs argv into a buffer and sends it to the server for parsing, rather
than doing it itself and sending the parsed command data.
As a side-effect this also removes a lot of now-unused command marshalling
code.
Mixing a server without this change and a client with or vice versa will cause
tmux to hang or crash, please ensure that tmux is entirely killed before
upgrading.

issues - particularly, don't mix with manual pane resizing and be careful when
viewing from multiple clients; generally cycling the layout a few times will
fix most problems. Getting this in for testing while I think about how to deal
with manual mode.
Split window as normal and cycle the layouts with C-b space. Some of the
layouts will work better when swap-pane comes along.
