git-gui missing .desktop file

[Removed by request]

Binary package hint: git

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and git 1:1.7.5.1-1 and there is no start menu entry. I must start it with the console but it would be better with an entry in the start menu.

Git is a CLI application, creating a start menu entry doesn't make sense. Compare it to applications like tar, apache,

I'm meaning git-gui with the start menu entry.

This is a really trivial fix to add a .desktop file to the git-gui package like so:

FYI—I just realized from the above mentioned file that one can simply run "git gui" instead of having to remember the full path /usr/lib/git-core/git-gui as I had been doing. This eliminates the need for a GUI shortcut for me, but it would probably still be helpful to others.
