This package actually uses the old abandoned code base.
However the code base has been revieved by new maintainers
* https://github.com/projecthamster/
if there is a request for it could be re-added to nixpkgs.
Since bash-completion rules are loaded dynamically, the completion
rules for `gitk <Tab>` waere not being loaded until the user first
typed `git <Tab>`. Fix this by adding a symlink named `gitk`.
