I'm probably shot down for this. But could we go with a clean plate
and create a new command prefix (something like git-next, git2, or
gt...)? We could then redesign the entire UI without worrying about
backward compatibility. At some point we can start to deprecate "git"
and encourage to use the new command prefix only. Of course somebody
has to go over all the commands and options to propose some consistent
UI, then more discussions and coding so it could likely follow the
path of pack v4..
