I think I would find this handy. Shawn suggested an alias, but I think

Maybe this is being too lazy, but I think it would be useful to allow
just "--import" without a message to default to "Initial commit",
"initial import from `basename $PWD`", or something like that.

I seem to recall that we were phasing out "--long-option <arg>" at some
