1. It doesn't affect anyone negatively
2. You don't have to use them if you don't want to
3. They don't affect your aliases, even if they have the same name
4. Everyone has aliases
5. Every SCM in history has had aliases
What more would you need?
Well, it might be good if they were configurable.
core.built-in-alias=false
core.built-in-alias=true
core.built-in-alias=sw,rs # switch,restore
Also, it can be debated if they should be on or off by default. (hence
built-in)
If the setting is undefined, then if a user does
git sw branch
It will print:
built in aliases are not enabled. Please run
git config core.built-in-alias=true
That way no one is forced to anything, but they are easy to enable, and
self advertising.
