Also I thiink you can add "git revert-commit [$committish]" as a synonym to the current "git revert [$committish]" if it makes things easier to explain to others. > * Change the argument handling for "git format-patch" so it is > consistent with everything else which takes a set of commits. Yes, > it means that where people have gotten used to typing "git > format-patch origin", they'll have to type instead: "git > format-patch origin..", but's much more consistent. I think that has already happened some time ago in the sense that you can say "origin.." and it does what you want. I do not think it merits to deprecate the original one --- if you do not like it, you do not use it nor teach it to others.
