The git-gui menu item "Repository | Create Desktop Icon" creates a
shortcut (.lnk file) on the Windows desktop. The purpose of the
created shortcut is to make it easy for a user to launch git-gui
for a particular repo in the future.
A Windows user would expect to see git gui launch when they click
the shortcut; they would not expect (nor want) to see a cmd window
open and remain open in the background.
msysGit avoids opening a command window altogether when it's Git GUI
shortcut is used. Ideally, git on cygwin would also have shortcuts
that simply open the GUI, but as a first step, this change allows
the shell window to politely disappear after starting git gui as a
background process.
