Felipe, I think you refute your own point here, because people _learning_ git aren't power-users. They might be one day, but not that day. If power-users are complaining that "commit" is too long, but aren't setting their own aliases, it's quite possible they just don't know about aliases. Because if they _did_ know about aliases, they'd set one. Even a shell alias, not nessecarily a git alias. I submit to you (with the backing of all my prior experience contributing to git... Which is too say none) that the problem is not that git has a single, good, obvious and memorable commit command. The problem is that those specific power-users don't know to use aliases. -- James Denholm -- 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
