Has there been discussion of adding abbreviated command names to git?
It would be nice to be able to type the standard abbreviations used by
many vcs, for example:
ci -> commit
co -> checkout
I searched the mailing list archives but didn't see anything so I
figured I'd ask. It would be nice. Also allowing the shortest uniquely
matching command string rather than having to type the whole thing
would be nice. (I know, if you do git-foo<tab> it would be the same
thing, but if the goal is to have git <command> be the standard usage
these things would be great.)
Thanks for the great system.
-Jeff
