The availability of git-gui at the time was an important point: many folks working this project simply will not work at the command line. We are still spinning up on git, but several of the developers are relying upon git-gui now and I expect that most will use it. So, I am definitely for moving git-gui into git. It definitely fits well with the 1.5 usability theme. Side note: with my gitk fix for Cygwin now in master, git-gui should not be deleting ~/.gitk on Cygwin anymore. Whatever the decision: Shawn - thank you for developing this. Mark Levedahl
