I haven't either, and I don't use git-gui or the git citool alias. I
didn't even know about it until yesterday.
The entries in git(1) don't indicate that citool is a convenience
alias for git-gui:
git-gui(1)
A portable graphical interface to Git.
git-citool(1)
Graphical alternative to git-commit.
Maybe it shouldn't be listed there at all to avoid confusion, or maybe
it should be in an aliases category to clearly indicate its function
as a convenience alias in the manpage.
