The Git-GUI repository that I now maintain is at https://github.com/j6t/git-gui. I have cherry-picked a few commits from the Git repository so that at this time its master branch is tree-identical to the version shipped with Git v2.45.0, i.e., v2.45.0:git-gui =~ 8c60bdfc0dce.

I am about to apply the patch below to note the new maintainer.
