It is not "split back" at all, and it won't be. From "git" user's point of view it is part of the suite. Gitk however is still a viable freestanding project, so it would be selfish for me to take a patch to gitk-git/gitk directly to my tree, as the patch will not be able to flow back to the standalone gitk project. Hence we always let patches go through Paul's tree and then I pull from him.
