Remove old git clients

[stefnotch]

Changes

Removes gitgui from the list of project, as it is a tiny script that no longer receives any attention from its author. I believe this change should be uncontroversial, but just in case, I'm pinging @jjustra

Furthermore, I believe we should remove the least useful git clients from the list. Roughly when they fulfill the criteria of being

• abandoned
• very small user-base
• small feature-set

I occasionally check the list for interesting git clients, and having a better curated list saves time, and gets more eyeballs on the actually good clients. We should be encouraging quality, not letting it get lost in the sand.

This PR was quickly made with the GitHub UI.

This PR could be closed just as quickly, and with as much diligence... I'd like you to consider the optics of whipping up a PR like this.

@dscho I do apologise, and admit to using the UI for convenience.

However, I do actually struggle with cloning this repository.
GitKraken (from this list) cannot clone this repository.
The git cli itself is also unable to work with this repository on Windows. I am not sure where to report this issue, since it does not fall into any of the categories.

First of all: the README recommends a partial, shallow clone for a good reason.

Second: You can work around the issue by using git -c core.protectNTFS=false clone ....

That repository is not marked as archived. Therefore it will require more than a PR without explanation to remove it.

Hi,
thanks for ping. I just want to clear, that the project is not abandoned; gitgui in current state is more or less finished. For gitting I use it practically exclusively as it is small, fast and easy. I didn't really have any need for changes and also didn't receive any requests. From my point it seems like it's perfect for its purpose.
I don't really have any usage statistics, so I am not sure if this is the case where many use it and noone complains, or not.

Thanks @jjustra for clarifying!

[stefnotch]

@jjustra Thank you very much for the quick response. I was surprised to see a tiny script with no activity, but that does make sense.

@stefnotch @dscho No problem at all. I understand how it looked from your side.
