Subject: [PATCH] Use "gitk: /path/to/repo" as gitk window title.
Message-ID: <20090813195830.GL24561@in.waw.pl>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090813195830.GL24561%40in.waw.pl

```
In case of non-bare repos, the .git suffix in the path is skipped.

Previously, when run in a subdirectory, gitk would show the name
of this subdirectory as the title, which was misleading.
