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... -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
