Re: [Advance Warning PATCH] Move gitk to its own subdirectory

Junio C Hamano, Sat, Nov 17, 2007 20:15:20 +0100:

The plan is to stop merging gitk.git as a single file project
into git.git but instead use the subtree merge strategy into its
own subdirectory of git.git.  We can use subproject support in
the future, but once _a_ subproject is used that means the
project's history is not pullable with subproject unaware
versions of git anymore, so I'd avoid it for now.

You made it part of "all" target, which we will have to change if gitk
is to become a subproject: Makefile better handle absence of the
Makefile under gitk-git, and continue build.

maybe "git-gitk" instead of "gitk-git"? As "git-gui" and "gitweb"...
Maybe even shorter: "gui", "web" and "k" :)
