Somebody off-list suggested removing gitk and git-gui directories from my
repository and I've been playing with the idea and kind of like the end
result.
The plan (I am not decided to buy into it yet, hence I am sending this
rfc) is to:
- remove gitk-git and git-gui directories;
- add modules/gitk and modules/git-gui submodules;
- teach the top-level Makefile about the new location of these two
packages.
Switching from 1.7.2 to this tree will of course give you a tree without
gitk and git-gui (nothing a simple "git submodule init/update" cannot
fix), and switching back from there to 1.7.2 codebase needs manual removal
of these two directories that will become leftover directories if you want
to keep the superproject directory pristine clean, but other than that, I
do not see major downsides.
I am wondering what people think. Especially distro people who download
and package git may be heavily affected. I haven't adjusted the RPM spec
file or "make dist" target, so I cannot assess the damage to these people
myself yet.
