Git uses Levenshtein distance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) to figure out what to suggest. If any command has a sLevenshtein distance of less than 6 (given our coefficients), then all commands with that distance is suggested. But perhaps we should do something different But perhaps we could do better. We have some commands that are considered more "important", ie the ones listed when doing "git help" without "--all". "status" is one of these. Perhaps these commands should always be included if they are below the Levenshtein distance threshold or something? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
