git-gui development is going to continue past 1.5.0's release.
There are still a lot of operations it should support that it
currently does not do, and there are certainly user interface
improvements that can still be made.
It may be saner for all involved if that development happens in
the git-gui.git repository, with drops made to git.git by way of
merging the "subproject" every so often.
Ok, so here is what I did last night.
$ git remote show git-gui
* remote git-gui
URL: git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git/
Tracked remote branches
master
$ git fetch git-gui
$ git read-tree --prefix=git-gui/ git-gui/master
$ git checkout git-gui
$ git rev-parse git-gui/master >.git/MERGE_HEAD
$ git commit
