[ANNOUNCE] git-gui 0.7.0-rc1

There have been a good deal of changes in git-gui recently. Most significantly within the inner workings. The code has been refactored into multiple files and I'm starting to make use of the auto_load feature of Tcl, as well as Tcl namespaces. As you can see by the diffstat below I moved over 4000 lines out of git-gui.sh and into other files. ;-)

There were some minor tweaks to the git-gui Makefile variable handling so I have pre-merged git-gui.git's master into git.git master, handling those tweaks as part of the merge. After pulling it in you may also want to fetch from git-gui.git to grab the gitgui-0.7.0-rc1 tag.

I'm tagging this release as rc1 as I hope to get a few more improvements in this week, before I call it 0.7.0 final.

So we will expect git 1.5.2 to ship with 0.7.0 perhaps mid to late next week?

Yes, that would be the plan.
