Sometimes I think we could just add a new "root" name for total UI
redesign. Say all commands starting with "gic" (or whatever name it
is, "gt" may be even shorter) will have new/consistent behavior while
"git" ones remain unchanged (or changed gradually and sloooowly). It
happened with bazaar (baz vs bzr) long ago.
