(I'm a bit busy for the next week or so and I won't be that responsive) The initial command StGIT set was meant to be close to the Quilt's one so that it offers an easy transition. Some commands like 'import' or 'branch' got more complex and I don't have anything against using subcommands with them. The help tries to categorize the commands somehow. However, I would still like the main commands (push/pop, series, applied/unapplied etc.) to remain as primary commands and be similar to Quilt. It would become impractical to type 'stg patch push' for example, even if you have abbreviations. There are tools with a much more unintuitive command/key set and people still use them successfully (thinking of emacs). -- Catalin
