It would indeed, and it should also be fairly trivial. However, adding 
short-hands that are identical with cvs and svn but does a totally 
different thing (well, not really different, but cvs users will be 
surprised) is not necessarily a good thing.

It would be better, imo, to add ambiguity detection for commands that 
lacks an exact match. That way "git br" and "git branch" would be 
identical and the logic only needs doing once. I'm not terribly excited 
about it though, so...
