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 it would be the same thing, but if the goal is to have git be the standard usage these things would be great.) Thanks for the great system. -Jeff
