All I meant is that it is not an alias for "git gui" but for "git gui citool". I can imagine a person reading git(1) and learning about the ability to say

	git citool

though I guess by the same token a person might wonder why the list does not include similar

	git blametool

and

	git browsertool

commands. Anyway, I have nothing against a separate "aliases" category. Sorry for the noise.
