No big deal, just don't release a git.git without merging git-gui again please. But it already sounds like you won't be doing that. ;-)

One of the risks I took on when you started carrying git-gui in git.git like this was patches stepping on git-gui by accident, or people submitting patches to both git.git and git-gui.git in the same patchfile (uh, Makefiles anyone?!?).

I'll be happy when the subproject support is mature enough that git-gui can be unmerged from git.git, and we can instead just point git.git at the git-gui project. But I still think its a good idea to distribute git-gui as part of the release tarball for core Git; users have come to expect they can find a stable version of git-gui there, much as they also expect to find a reasonably stable version of gitk.
